Safari-wise the Aquamarine was great but for me the Orange special edition just beats it to first place.

 

As for Al-Stars I really liked the all black special edition - the polar opposite of an orange Safari!

I covet the Ruby Red Al- Star. They come up on Ebay for prices in the $80.00 range.

This is my favorite color as well (I have two, in fact. Luckily, I paid the original price for them!).

My Favoutire Colour would have to be the Bue-Green Al-Star. I really like the Al-Star Fountain Pens, and now have them in a few different colours, but I have to say that the Blue-Green is my current Favourite!

My favorite is the white Safari with a red clip. I believe it was a special edition, given the price I paid for it, but it matches my Vespa :).

 

I would love it if they made a red one with a white clip, but I don't think they ever made Safaris with white clips?

Considering the ever expanding colors and editions of the Lamy Safari/ Al-Star lineup, I was wondering what colors are the most sought after here on FPN. Do you own that particular favorite or are you looking for it?

 

In my personal case, it's got to be the Coffee Al-Star and the NK-edition Charcoal with red clip. What's yours?

 

+1 on your choices. I have a Ruby Red, which was my first Lamy and it is nice. I want a coffee colored one but not willing to pay the price of them now.

New-ish to the hobby. Of those I have, Blue-Green Al-Star, by far. Then the neon coral Safari.

 

Though I'd love a coffee brown Al-Star...

It's beyond explanation, but I really like my "Bic Yellow" Safari.

Anyone else here so afflicted? :headsmack:

Ruby red is also amongst my favorites, but I've yet to buy me one -not willing to pay the 100+ dollars those are going for!

My to some extend... The yellow one (chrome clip) was my first Lamy, so am kind of really fond of it.

I like the Apple Green Safari. I usually fill it with Visconti Blue and the contrast between the 2 is pleasing for me and evokes lots of "oohs" & "aahs".

      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
