For ink I'm using Noodler's Legal Lapis, one of their Bulletproof inks. It has feathering issues with some papers and it tends to leak slightly running down the nib - well, not exactly leak, it just tends to not stay nicely in the slit. Besides those issues it's wonderful stuff. There's a very cool feeling to dunk paper in water for an hour or so, take it out and all the ink is still on it.
The Lamy Safari is great. I bought this one awhile ago and am still waiting for it to arrive!
