He actually did it. He's the guy who can sell a pen.

A friend that passed away recently happened to give me this fountain pen as a gift. It reminds me of her when I use it at times. RIP Marci.

As a german this brings back amazing memories. Almost everybody had these in a wooden design that came with either a red or a blue lid. You could write your name ontop of the lid :)

A lot of german kids learned to write with a Lamy. I still have one, for special occasions.

My Lamy fountain pen served me well for over a decade of almost daily use. I got it in first grade and I think the cap was the first thing to break in year 10 or so. Great product

This guy needs to go on shark tank with that sales pitch.

The most basic pen in german schools explained like it's a new rolls royce 😂

[DonFranko]

With the Safary, Lamy wanted to create a utility item that was practical, inexpensive and functional. It is a “low budget design masterpiece”! It is now a real classic, just like a Pelikan M 200, Montblanc Meisterstück or Kaweco Sport.

They also tend to write on the dry side--which I'm guessing was a deliberate design choice to make the ink go further, dry a bit quicker, and probably a bit less prone to ghosting or bleeding through to the other side of crappy paper.
(I normally prefer the smoothness of wetter nibs, but sometimes the drier writers can be quite pragmatic.)

These things are indestructible. I dug mine out of an old box from like 10 years ago (used it all throughout college) and worked fine with a little hot water cleanup.

[MrChippinator]

No matter what new pen I get, I always come back to my Lamy Safari.

[bleepbloop]

Lamy is a German brand, and in germany we have rules starting from first grade where we need to show up with an ink pen like this. Lamy profited highly from that, as they first came out with a more children friendly version thats made from primary colours and soft wood. Later on they released multiple models of plastic pens that felt smooth and nice to the touch, right at the time where most elementary school kids moved up to secondary schools. They're very expensive in comparison to their competitors, but they're famous for their good quality. So while Lamy might be popular for said reasons, if definitively got its fame from my generation of impressionable young teens that wanted to establish trends in the classroom.

Had this in my school years. 10 years, no tearing, no damages and especially the tip is still aligned. Wonderful product which i can recommend

[CWHolleman]

I like my Pilot Vanishing Point.
Had it for years and I've had no issues other than the matte black finished wearing on the pocket clip and the barrel where it's held and where it lays on its side.
It has worked flawlessly with converter or ink cartridges.
If you are looking for a daily use fountain pen, I cannot recommend it highly enough

[karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

I got my first one in 1988. Still a favorite, and I didn’t know I could change the nib!

[thepartyofone]
