Obligatory dad joke:
Be sure to get extra ink cartridges. Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself saying, "I can't even write now."
Most promising review:
"Unlike many companies, Lamy makes pens and pencils. They don't use pretentious euphemisms for pens like those other companies, nor do they charge 10x-100x what the pens are worth. They do make awesome pens like the Safari, which are indestructible and feel good in the hand, and they make some incredibly smooth nibs."

Most promising review:
"Really nice product. Seems solid (more so than previous $20+ stones I've had in the past years). While those stones worked and were adequate at half the price of this stone, they also didn't have the finish, weight, and thickness of this one."
