Lamy Safari with noodler's or get the hell out of my office.
- bicx 3y agoOver here with my Pilot Vanishing Point that I use between sips of 30-year scotch. Oh wait, this is a $20 bottle of whiskey.
- kstrauser 3y agoThe Safari changed my relationship with handwriting. My natural grip makes my hand cramp up after a couple paragraphs. The Safari’s triangular grip forces me to hold it the “right” way, and voila, no more writing pain. I can’t believe what a vast change that made. Edit: Also, Noodler’s Baystate Blue. If your pinky isn’t stained afterward, have you even written?
- wizardwes 3y agoI'm personally a Noodler's X-feather fan, but that's mostly because I usually found myself writing on bad paper back in my school days when I got it, and you just get so much of it too

- Wistar 3y agoI still write a few checks every month and use a dedicated medium-nib TWISBI Classic with Noodler’s Heart of Darkness Bulletproof ink to write them.
- fatbird 3y agoMy friend, you owe it to yourself to try Platinum Carbon Black ink. More permanent and waterproof than Noodlers, and a black so dark and dense you'll think you can see the end of the void in it. Ignore the haters who claim pigmented ink wrecks your pens--both my wife and I have drawn miles of lines with it, and even leaving it sitting on the desk unused for weeks, we never have a problem with it.
- kstrauser 3y agoAlso, in fountain pen terms, Safaris are so reasonably priced that you can dedicate one to a specific ink. I mention using Baystate Blue. I might not put that in the same pen where I'd later use, say, yellow ink, but I don't have to.
