I haven’t had a fountain pen since college (early 70’s). I want to try some again.
Where is the best place in the US to buy a Lamy Safari and TWSBI 580? I work in the petroleum industry in the middle east and only get home to Texas once a year for a few weeks. I don’t need a vendor who will stand behind the pen after the sale. I need someone who will make sure I get a good one in the first place. I need to find a top flight vendor that actually has someone make sure the pen is right before it ships, even if there is an extra charge for this service.
My plans are to order the following items:
Charcoal Lamy Safari with fine nib
Rose Gold TWSBI 580 with fine nib
TWSBI 50ml ink well
Lamy Refill Converter (Z24)
Lamy Cartridges Refill - Black -5-pack T10BK
Lamy Cartridges Refill – Blue-Black -5-pack (T10BLBK)
Visconti Travelling Inkpot
Noodler's Bulletproof Black Fountain Pen Ink w/ eye dropper
Montblanc Midnight Blue Ink
I use the “large” Moleskine notebooks. I know the paper is mediocre at best, but it fits in my hip pocket. All those with better paper, like the Rhodia A5 Webnotebook are just enough wider that they won’t fit in my hip pocket.
