I think the Twsbi has better nibs than Lamy. Good writers, the Lamy is a good writer also and if you do not like ink on your hands the Lamy wins. My wife pairs all of her Twsbi's with matching inks.
I have one of each and love them both. But the TWSBI wins the looks competition, but the Lamy is easier to use and more functional to use. Sort of like utilitarian vs utiletieriene', Depends on my bougie factor for the day.
This reminds me of the old South Park episode where everyone has to vote between a Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich. There are no winners here. TWSBI's look cool but break when you look at them funny, and Lamy is the equivalent of attaching an ink sac to an old rusty nail.
Twsbi eco is better as is a piston filled, nib is more solid, the whole pen is built like a tank. Lamy Safari is lame, cartridge/converter, cheap nib, stupid modern "tripod" grip. I practice traditional penmanship and we don't use this modern tripod grip. I'd pick eco any day.

Do you keep a pen in your car? Seems the heat would be a factor: we're hot here in NC also.
No, its way too hot here
lol.. "have one of each"... that's ridiculous. If you're watching this video you will have multiple of each.
Lol people are so aggressive about this topic.

Interesting… I have never broken a TWSBI. People bang on about that…. But it’s old news. Those issues have been sorted

@gordonhall9943 I am fairly new to Fountain pens and the trigrip helped me alot. I agree eco is a better pen though.
