on saleLAMY joy Fountain Pen - black

I love the longer barrel of the Joy. Great for writing or sketching. This is my everyday all day pen. Tried the safari and a couple other pens… nothing compares. I have larger hands and love the balanced feel with the cap open and on end. Smooth, never clogs using De Atrementis waterproof ink. I now have two, white and black with red. Maybe I should stock up? Feels like Lamy ignores this model.

The LAMY joy is a very lightweight pen and is very stylish. I think LAMY makes beautiful pens but I do have problems when I use other than LAMY inks. I need waterproof inks for sketching and these don’t flow as well in these pens as the non waterproof LAMY inks do.

I really like this pen. I have paired it with my Lamy Cursive nib, which I have found to be a joy to write with. I think that the unusual shape of the pen provides a kind of balance that improves the look of my penmanship. Of course, this pen is not easy to travel with. When I want to use my cursive nib outside the house, I screw the section into the bottom part of my Lamy Vista, and away we go!

This is my first fountain pen to produce urban sketches. It's easy to use and it's just an awesome pen. Thank you, Goulet Pen, you guys are great.

Excellent upgrade from the Pilot 1.5mm Parallel Pen. The 1.5mm stub nib has much smoother and better controlled strokes for Blackletter calligraphy. Not too crazy about the 'weird' design and colors, but the nib is great and that's what counts. Many fewer dry starts. Value is OK but the price is a bit high for an all plastic pen without an included converter. The ink window only shows down to about 1/2 full/empty, but OK, it still a helps. Am I happy. Yes. A 2.4 - 3.0 mm stub would be nice.
