Review: Cool for sketches - Amazing.
Review: Overhyped and Rough Writing Experience – Disappointed - As someone who genuinely loves exploring different pens and stationery items, I was excited to finally try the Lamy Safari after all the rave reviews and YouTube videos. I went with the Steel Black Fountain Pen expecting a smooth and premium writing experience. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. The nib feels extremely coarse and rough on paper—it drags rather than glides. I tried to push through and use it at work to get used to it, but it was just too uncomfortable and unproductive. I ended up switching back to my regular ballpoint within minutes. While the build quality and design are decent, the actual writing experience doesn’t live up to the hype.

Amazing.

### ⭐⭐ Overhyped and Rough Writing Experience – Disappointed
*by S***. on 24 June 2025*

As someone who genuinely loves exploring different pens and stationery items, I was excited to finally try the Lamy Safari after all the rave reviews and YouTube videos. I went with the Steel Black Fountain Pen expecting a smooth and premium writing experience. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown.

### ⭐⭐⭐ My first safari and probably last too
*by S***L on 8 November 2024*

The len came in a very poor packing and with no convertor but there was one ink cartridge. For the same price my waterman graduate chrome came with a ink cartridge, a convertor and a proper box .
