## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why did my pen begin skipping and not writing at all?  I put in a new cartridge and same thing. If nib is clogged, how do I clean it?**
A: A few suggestions for your problem, Warren. Firstly, I've found that cartridges just don't work as well as bottled ink. For cleaning, remove the cartridge, insert a converter, and fill the pen with plain (preferably filtered) luke warm water from a glass and empty it out. Do this a few times until the water coming out of the pen is clear. If you don't have a converter then unscrew the nib, drop the whole assembly in the glass and rinse it in the water, changing the water until clear. I suggest cleaning the nib in this way every time you fill it.

**Q: How does it compare to Pilot Metropolitan in writing experience? Which one is a smoother writer?**
A: There are so many variable combinations (ink, paper, nib size...) it's hard to give a definitive answer. I own both pens. My Metropolitan is much smoother than my Safari. Asian nibs are finer, so a Pilot M is going to be more like a Lamy F. If using a good bottled ink with a converter, you may find the Pilot M to be a bit wet. Both write well on copier-grade paper, but you may find the Lamy to be a bit scratchier. Beyond that, it kind of comes down to aesthetics. Do you like the modern lines and materials of the Lamy, or the classic, smooth lines of the Pilot?

**Q: How "fine" is the fine tip? How does it compare to the other Lamy tip widths (extra-fine, medium)?**
A: It is not a fine tip in my opinion. It is smooth and has a generous width in its imprint, so for this reason it could easily be called a medium.

**Q: Can you change the nib to another LAMY nib of another size?**
A: Absolutely. Lamy nibs come in EF, F, M, B, 1.1 stub, 1.5 stub, 1.9 stub and are all interchangeable. I love the 1.1 stub and 1.5 stub and the extra flair they give my handwriting.

Superb pen, I just love the smooth yet fine output from the nib. Lamy is always been my go-to fountain pen. It comes with a convertor to switch from cartridges to ink from a bottle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Purchase
*by R***A on 23 September 2023*

If you correlate a pen's weight to its build quality then probably look for other options. But if you like lightweight pens then this is a great purchase at the price point it comes. Lamy safari is light and has a robust build quality. The fit and finish is also great. It comes with a Lamy blue cartridge, a Z28 converter and a warranty card. The wire clip on the cap is stiff. The two facets in the grip section and the textured finish helps you to grip it securely and comfortably (if you have a tripod grip of course, otherwise change how you grip the pen or look for other options). The barrel tapers very slightly and has an ink window which is very functional. The converter holds approximately 0.8 ml ink. The nib is fairly smooth and has slight feedback. Although it is finer than Parker Vector, I found it smoother than the Vector. Smoothness also depends on the ink and paper you pair it with. Lamy EF nib's line width is in between Pilot's F and M steel nibs. The ink flow is moderate.The nib is easily interchangeable with other Lamy steel or gold nibs. Overall it is a great pen for long hours writing, note taking and everyday use. Because it has good build quality, it doesn't need much care or handling. I am very happy with the purchase. Edit: Comparing the Lamy Safari EF with Pilot Metropolitan F, I found the Pilot noticeably smoother even though it's finer. Whether smoothness is a priority varies from person to person but for me it is. So I am decreasing one ⭐. Edit 2: Lamy's F nib is also smoother than its EF nib though it produces slightly thicker lines (sometimes not noticeable at all). So I would recommend to go for the fine nib rather than the extra fine nib. Pictures of writing by the two nib sizes is attached.
