If you get a Safari and don't particularly enjoy writing with it -- give other pens a chance. I personally find Lamy nibs atrocious, the sensation of their nibs on smooth paper reminds me of nails on glass.

Also, once the world returns to normal, check out a local pen show or pen meet, there's a pretty active community of fountain pen enthusiasts, if it's a rabbit hole you care to pursue.

They were non trivially higher a little over a year ago, so I'd argue they could do with some propping up....
