Hello all, Since october last year I am hooked in Fps, and as an high school student I want now to change my Lamy Safari that I am using since last october. I have tried also a Parker 45, Sailor highace Neo, Fpr triveni Jr (indian pen). I am searching for a pen with : - metal construction by preference (a little tired by it on the safari), more consistent design. - a snap-cap (much more handy to take notes) - not with "friction" as on the P45, which clips immediately. - Not Japanese, because I always found myself confused to find an equivalent to the Lamy F, for me with my usual noodler's qe3 ink (more wet than dry) the Pilot M is not equal to the lamy F, so western is simpler or I need a Japanese broad. About the filling-system, a c/c is fine, even if I have to refill every 2/3 days, the eyedroppers are less clean to refill imho. The evident choice would be a Lamy pen, because of their utilitarian-minded design, but an all-star is too close to a Safari, What do you have to recommend me ? I am open to Chinese, etc, around 100 you can also tell me what's interesting to think to. (classifieds included). Indeed, I am just searching for an "upgrade" to the safari, a more premium-builted one also thinked for an easy and quick usage.. I am confused. About twsbi, there is the Vac 700, but I heard about cracks.. I heard about a "Nexus pen", kickstarter project, all aluminium made, coming with a bock nib.. I like the platinum 3776. Thank you !
