Fountain Pen Perverts: Question about 'Feel' between two Lamy F nibs

So here's the deal.

I have a Lamy Safari and a Lamy Studio, both with a F nib.

The Safari writes smoothly and beautifully.

The Studio feels "sharp". Like it isn't getting enough ink. It also gets more ink on the top of the nib than the Safari. I don't know if something is wrong with it or what!

They both have the same converters and both use Lamy washable blue ink.

Any ideas?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
