Which Lamy pen are you planning to buy? It will be for a specific use, like calligraphy ,painting ,regular writing?

Hello, Everyone. Many new posts about a particular new pen complain about something or another... scratchy nib, poor ink flow, etc. So, I thought to counter those negatives with my new Lamy 2000 experience. What a great pen! I bought it from the Goulet Pen Company, and they are very good people to deal with. Along with the pen, I bought a bottle of Rohrer and Klingner Verdigris. When I got the pen, I immediately disassembled it to clean it thoroughly. I soaked the nib in cool water with a drop or two of dish soap. I took the piston out and cleaned the barrel. I rinsed the nib, shook it dry in paper towels, siliconed the gaskets, and re-assembled the pen. The nib tines were aligned perfectly; no issues there. All working as advertised. I inked the pen with the Verdigris, and experienced a match made in Heaven. Sweet! The perfect pen-ink combination. Good flow, the nib has great character, and the color of the ink has a quality that keeps you marveling at its subtle gravitas. No negatives. It fits my hand well. The hooded nib and piston filling mechanism provides, for me, some nostalgia, and the Balhaus design provides a futuristic design that is eternal. And, I even like the color. My new Lamy will never replace my modern Aurora 88; that is my favorite pen, and, for my money, the best pen made. I use it every day. But I have to tell you, I really like this new Lamy 2000.
