Hello,
I'm curious if anyone here has ever hed the standard steel nib which comes on the Lamy Safari/Al Star/Nexx ground or smoothed by a professional, and if so if you felt that it was worth the investment in a smoother nib.
I realize that the price for an entire pen approaches the cost of a re-grind, so some might see no point in pursuing this option. My experience has been that the Lamy nibs are OK but not nearly as nice as my Goulet #6 or the medium on my Bexley. I do like the ergonomics of the Lamy pens including the Nexx which is why I am considering this option.
Thanks!
