   @masukomi @kiwired Yesssss. Absolutely love the Safari, it’s a pleasure to write with and much less fussy than many other fountain pens, ime.

     Yes, I said "lowbrow fountain pen". Trust me. It's ~$30 with $5 boxes of 5 replaceable plastic ink cartridges.

     It's incredibly easy to use, and produces a wonderful line. If you've been curious about fountain pens i highly recommend it. I use a medium "nib" (tip), and it produces a nice thick line equivalent to the more heavy flow consumer pens like the Uniball Vision.

     Alas, I can't find my Safari right now. 😿

     Why is it that when the typical ball point pen sold in USA runs out of ink I have to replace the entire thing: the body, the ink tube, the tip, the clicker, and the 2 springs?

     Yet, when my pretty unremarkable Japanese ball-point pen runs out I just grab a replacement ink tube & tip?

     When my lowbrow Lamy Safari fountain pen runs out I just replace the ink cartridge?

     Why is pen stuff so needlessly wasteful?
