What Lamy Are You Using Today?

[inkfade]

+1 and what a nice notebook or cover for a notebook.

 

Thank you! I feel it is a good pairing.

LAMY Safari white with 14ct nib:

 

 

How do you find the gold F nib writes? Would you say it writes a little broader or wetter than a true F? Or no? I am considering getting a gold nib for one of my Safaris and am wondering what nib size I should get.

I have a F one, on a CP-1 (which has same feed characteristics with a Safari) It writes wet, and a bit broader. It's soft, and enjoyable to use. I'm planning to get a couple more.

Lamy 2K EF, with Lamy Black

 

I bought 4 samples with it:

• Lamy Black
• Lamy Blue-Black
• Namiki Black
• Namiki Blue

(I have a bottle of Lamy Blue already)

 

When I penabled my brother, the first pen he bought himself was a Lamy Studio, which he really liked. The second was an EF 2000. That was the last fountain pen he bought. He runs Perle Noire in it and uses it every day.

 

So I had to get one, to see if it's really the end-of-the-quest pen he found it to be. Haven't decided yet, but I like it.

 

I might try a slightly wetter ink in it (I have Take-Sumi and Shin-kai, or else Montblanc Midnight Blue), though the Lamy Black is surprisingly quite nice. But if I can stay disciplined enough, I want to work through these samples for a bit. I so rarely give ink an extended evaluation in a pen - I have never made it more than 2 weeks without switching, and usually it's just days.

What is the notebook holder in the background?

I know I told myself I would leave my 2k inked with Black for a bit, but I couldn't resist trying 54th Mass last night.

 

It made the EF nib write almost like a broad! But someone suggested it would settle down with time, so I left it until this evening. It's still quite broad - almost stublike - but it feels better behaved. I just wrote a whole page in my APICA, and it looks quite nice. Thick lines but such a lovely color.

 

Compared to yesterday, though, it's not really any different. So maybe it's me that's settled down overnight instead of the ink!

My experience is that Lamy nibs are in general slightly broader than the rest. The Gold nibs are writing soft and wet. That's why I like them.

Lamy Candy in mango colour with blue ink.Medium nib.

[inkstainedruth]

I finally got a chance last week to see the Mango up close (i.e., not a photograph). I think I'll stick to the Violet (which is just enough different a color from Dark Lilac that I'm happy I have both).

YMMV....
