Compared to the fluorescent yellow they've reportedly set for the Safari, this one comes as a relief. I think it's nice.

I was told about this via a Lamy rep a little while ago. It is classed as Champagne and looks very nice. I will be adding one to my collection.

I was hoping for a purple or brown Safari! The more I look at the Al Star, the more I am drawn to the colour.

I am so doomed. There is at least one of these in my future.

I think the colour is really nice but the colour is champagne more than pearl, I can't wait!!!

 

Lamy may give it different names for different countries like the Shiraz or Black Purple Al-Star.

 

I quite like the look of it and I suspect it will only grown on you the more to see it.

Not to me! I think that a bright fluorescent yellow suits the style of the Safari (and probably me).

Generally I'd rather save $8 and get a lighter, thinner, resilient, shock-absorbant ABS pen with better gaskets that won't get horribly scratched up, but I think I'm going to be taking the plunge on this one! Heard it's going to be a permanent addition to the Al-STar line.

 

I didn't get the 2012 Green Safari yet, but I'm gonna get this. Definitely.

 

It will stay home and not get scratched or dinged.

I've got mine with an EF nib. I really like it, will look lovely inked with a Diamine Raw Sienna and Noodlers Black ink.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
