I was looking at Lamy's the other night. I like the Safari

 

[NurseDave]

I've got the safari at my desk now. It's the 2000 at home I'm working on.

I use a safari at work. Just about to finish my last refill tube and start using the converter. I had been using about 1 cartridge a month with it.

 

[NurseDave]

Both are prepped now and ready to start the work day

I've started looking too but i am just making note of ones i am interested in for now because my wife will be asking for birthday ideas soon. She might not even roll her eyes at these.... maybe? Nah who am i kidding, she totally will!

I’ve been doing the same. It’s a good thing most of them are way above what I can afford for a pen haha.

Everyone should have a Kaweco Sport or Ice Sport. Nib quality is excellent, including the stainless steel ones. They are very reasonably priced, can be thrown into a pocket, or eyedroppered if you don’t feel like using the carts.

I had a few of those but they Always dried out on me within a few days. When i was able to write with them they were pretty nice though.

 

[beginish]

Hmmmm, I’ve never had that happen.

I’ll have to look into one. I was also considering eyedroppering a Platinum Preppy.

 

[uacowboy]

yeah, i couldn't figure it out either. I think i might still have one kicking around but no ink for it.

The preppy is a good pen. I like to use it with ‘dangerous’ inks with bad reputations like Bay State Blue.

I had no idea that you were such a rebel. We're going to have to lobby to get your username changed to "DangerousBob."

I really the shade of Bay State Blue but I decided against it because of the whole weird bay state thing lol.

I have a feeling that I'd experience a blackout and wake up in the Bayou with a gator eyeing me hungrily if I tried that one.

BSB has the most intense blue in any ink of used. I love the stuff, but won't risk a 'good' pen with it. My second favorite is Private Reserve Tanzanite, but that stuff takes so long to dry that I've pretty much given up on it.

What’s the deal with BSB? I’ve read in multiple places that you shouldn’t use it in a “good” pen and to never mix it with other ink.
