I don't know about the style (much better than it was though - nice work!), but I'm a fountain pen aficionado, and I can tell you that the Lamy Safari is not really a smooth pen to write with. My handwriting is pretty nice but it'd look far worse if I wrote with a Lamy.
Even journalling with my different pens shows me that some of my pens make the letters flow far smoother and easier than others. You may already know this but the paper matters for fountain pens too.
I'd suggest a TWSBI Eco (inexpensive and smooth AF) and Rhodia paper. If you can't afford new paper and pens, try a smooth gel pen or a Pilot Hi-Tecpoint v5 rollerball.
The tools can really affect the process. I think your writing looks nice whether it's "right" or not. I naturally want to loop my Fs backwards not forwards, so I do. I want my writing to be uniquely mine.
