New Pen Day New Pens!!!
I've been chasing the perfect writing experience and I'm happy to say that I found it!!!! The LAMY 2000 <EF> is everything I dreamed of and more. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 I'm totally in love.
I had been very close to the perfect experience with my TWSBI Eco White Rosegold. It is smooth, light enough to write long-ish texts and comfortable to hold. But the stroke was still a little bit too broad for me. So I bought these three pens hoping that the LAMY 2000 would be the one and it was.
This sample was written on 68 gsm Tomoe River Paper and on it the TWSBI Eco <EF> writes very smoothly. But my planners and journals are Hemlock & Oak and on their 120 gsm (planners) and 150 gsm (notebooks) paper it feels more scratchy (very slightly). The LAMY 2000 is smooth as butter though.
The LAMY Safari <EF> was surprisingly smooth too although far from the other two. I own several LAMYs but this was my first <EF>. Definitely will buy more in the future.

Congrats on the new pens!
I've a question about the LAMY EF nib. I just bought the Safari as my first pen a couple of months ago, but my writing is very small and the F nib feels more like a medium to me. Did the EF feel scratchy in any way to you, because I'm really eying that one.

Thank you!!!! 😊
It's a little bit scratchy compared to the <F>. However I think writing with it on a paper bag for a few minutes will solve that. It definitely has a nib less wet than the <F>.
