@cosullivan i don't like my Plaisir very much. It's super dry and the ink takes forever to start

@Alonealastalovedalongthe Inclined to agree with you. The only other city-brand I saw with Lamy, although there must be many, is New York City.

@cosullivan The left pen seems more comfortable.

@cosullivan my lamy safari has served me well for years. I’d also consider tossing in a request for a refillable cartridge and inkwell. Barring needing to replace a nib you won’t have to spend money on writing instruments for several years.
