Very Precise Instrument

My kid loves his pen - easy to write with, easy to load, durable, and loves the bright red (easy to keep track of, the last one got lost).

excellent pen

I've just had it over two weeks or so. I have been writing with everday,... and i mean writing with it!

I initially was a little concerned, because it was skipping alot. But, alas!...when they say a fountain pen is finicky about the paper it writes on, they weren't kidding!...I decided to pamper it with some fine samples of notebooks, Rohdia, Clairefontaine and Leuchtturm1917,...it was like writing on silk!...the design of the pen is ideal for newcomers to writing with fountain pens...I also invested on an ink converter and two series of Pilot inks...a perfectly matched combination!!...

Like it. Good quality, but I wish I had bought the Medium nib instead of Fine. May buy Medium later.

Great pen…very happy with the purchase and the price/value was excellent.

Absolutely wonderful pen, and I love Goulet pen co. Great staff and great products

A sturdy and well-designed pen with easily replaceable nibs

The one challenge I had with the Safari was in filling it using the converter; I was trying to fill it too quickly. Luckily, I have a husband fully integrated into the Fountain Pen Lifestyle (tm) who helped me with the darn thing. Otherwise, it's been a smooth process. The pen is a workhorse, and I love it.

I gave to my granddaughter for Christmas. She reported it was really fancy and she enjoyed using it at the law office where she works to sign her paperwork.

I enjoy sketching and drawing�and writing�with my Lamy Safari Fountain Pen. It is definitely the nicest fountain pen I own�and have used. I purchased the fine point in red and plan to buy a very fine point in a different color in the near future. I also appreciated the prompt service�and the lollipop!

I love all my Lamy pens. They write beautifully every time. I needed one in red and this was perfect.

I am relatively new to fountain pens. I have been using a Lami Safari medium point and really like the refillable option and how easily it can be disassembled and cleaned. I use the medium point and bought this new fine point (I choose to have two separate pens, color coded) for drawing using waterproof ink, so I can then use water colors over the art. The crisp black outline that these pens provide is top drawer. Oh yes - and these are not expensive pens, either.

LAMY fountain pen are lovely to use. I like extra fine or fine nibs because I am somewhat heavy handed. I enjoy the grip as it is easy on my hand as I grips my pens/pencils very tightly. I have several LAMY and ink them by their color so for this I have a poppy red ink.

Harder to break in. Writes well. it is a little stiff.

I found myself draw to the idea of fountain pens and after much tireless research I finally decided upon this red LAMY Safari, it has been nothing but great even a year after purchase, I've filled it with all sorts of inks and have been very pleased. If you're new and deciding on a starter pen, this is the one for you, and I highly suggest getting the LAMY Z28 Converter with it to make great use of bottled ink which I feel is where these pens really shine.

Fantastic!!

lost my favourite Lamy pen and not happy until I got a new one, best sketch pen going.

This was my (like many other's) first fountain pen, and this pen has survived the perpetual **** iv'e put it through absolute **** everyday for two years so far and still going on. Anywhere through pressing unnecessarily to far for what its meant to, to dropping it multiple times directly on its nib onto tile from 5' plus. This thing is indestructible. I actually thought a did mess it up somehow about a couple months ago, I cleaned it (by just putting it in water), it didn't dry properly and I put another cartridge in it and it just wouldn't write, I was pissed but after cleaning it again and really letting it dry it worked (it turns out the ink was being diluted by the water). Sorry for the offtrack review. Great pen, not my only pen, but one of my personal favorite!

Being new to the world of fountain pens, it was recommended I look into the LAMY Safari. That advice was outstanding as this pen is perfect for someone dipping their toe into the pool. The body is sturdy and the grip fantastic. The ability to accept both cartridges and converters allows for greater versatility and experimentation for the new user. As an added bonus, the customer service from the Goulet Pen Company is exceptional. From the personal touches added to each box they ship to the quick response online, Goulet has earned a new and loyal customer thanks to their selection, knowledge, and individual care.

I bought the red pen and loaded it with red ink. Perfect for highlights and corrections.

I have found this pen is great for someone new to fountain pens who is wanting to use them in the office where I'm doing most of my writing lighter paper.

Very nice pen. Highly recommend for a new person. Nib is very smooth.

This was the first Lamy Pen I've ever used, and actually the first fountain pen I've ever used. Absolutely amazing writer. Easy to use and learn with the fine nib. I'll order more Lamy Pens for sure. And the Goulet experience was great, customer service was terrific.

Really like this pen. Writes smoothly and doesn't drip like some more expensive pens. Very happy with this purchase. Great for any level writer.

Super light, writes smoothly with little pressure, the base has notches for your converter to lock into place, easy to take apart and reassemble. Overall satisfying experience.

I was not certain what to expect from this pen, but obviously many people seemed to love it. Well, so do I! I'm not saying it is the best pen out there, but for my purposes it is definitely my go to pen. I'm not in a position to spend large sums on pens, but now I don't have to. I'll keep collecting, but for my money this pen is hard to beat.

So I had another Safari and I lost it and the one before had a M nib that I swapped out for an EF nib from a Wing Sung 3008 which is pretty much a TWSBI eco knock-off. So I lost that pen and got another one but this time in EF but the nib was too scratchy. The pen is really high quality but the nib could be better.

There is a reason this is a true classic! Writes great and reliably! Unfortunately it is not sold with a B nib, so you have to order this separately!

Writes smooth with just a little feedback. The Fine nib seems more like a Medium. I ordered another one with Extra Fine and there's only a slight difference. I prefer the Extra Fine but I'm happy with both.

I made my first order to Goulet this September to buy a Lamy Safari and Lamy Joy, plus syringes to refill cartridges with ink, and also a converter. My order arrived quickly, and was packed in a solid box and padded with two layers of packing paper, which I appreciated, as it's more environmentally sound than plastic. When I opened the box I lifted the top layer of packing paper, and found my order nicely held in place so it didn't rattle about in transit. After reveling in the pleasure of handling my new fountain pens -- the first I've used since I was a kid -- I realized that while the thoughtfully supplied lollipop was included, my converter was not. I returned to the packing box and didn't see the converter, but then lifted the bottom packing paper layer and the converter was between the box and paper. I was very glad I'd not taken the box to the recycling dumpster! So, when you get your parcel, don't throw it into the trash until you account for each item in your order. As for the pens themselves, they're great! They'll serve my needs perfectly. I only wish they were loaded with black rather than blue ink.
