Lamy Nexx Fountain Pen - Fine Steel Nib - Blue Cap

Lamy is known for their award winning design. The Lamy Nexx is no exception, getting high marks for style points. In addition, the Nexx is a fine writer at an affordable price. Ergonomic shape ensures the pen is in optimal writing position. The barrel body is aluminum, making for a light pen. Cap is interesting in that you can, if you desire, hang it from a lanyard. And you might as well leave the cap attached to a lanyard, as the round cap posts terribly on the triangular barrel. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, great pen!

Not as sleek as the Safari, but it's the same feed and nib. Writing is characteristic of -and identical to- all other Lamy fountain pens. They are utilitarian pens meant for everyday and student use, and they fill that need well. The Nexx is great step up from plastic fountain pens like the Preppy pens while having a more fun aesthetic than the Safari.
