What Lamy Are You Using Today?

Recommended Posts

Hi, After using Safaris for several years, I've just bought an AL-star, I think the colour might be discontinued now, explaining why I got it at a slightly reduced price in a card/ pen/novelty type of shop.

Lamy Scala Glacier - got carried away a few weeks back when I found one going for a goodish price. Being my daily user at the moment.

Lamy is such a superior pen for the price.

I need to do a proper post somewhere about this pen at some point but I'm using my custom holo Al-Star. It was originally blue but was chipped and became a good tester for an artistic urge.

Impressive artistic expression via Lamy!

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

I really need to. It has some Baystate Blue in it for now, but I need shimmer. What I really need is holographic shimmer ink but my experiments for that have not been successful so far.

I love that custom "holo" Al-Star Kyrina.

 

I'm using my Dark Lilac Safari with Dark Lilac ink. I haven't use this pen/ink for 2 months and am, once again, wowed by both.

Lamy pens never, ever fail to impress!

Several months after buying it, today I have at last opened my Dark Lilac Safari (M), and started using one of the cartridges of Dark Lilac ink that came with it.

Can *anyone* explain why LAMY decided to make this ink *only* a Limited Edition?

I am not asking anyone to explain why they also decided to NOT sell it in bottled form in Europe; because *that* is beyond all sensible explanation. Eejits :-(

I didn't know Lamy did not offer Dark Lilac in bottled form in Europe. It's very strange, especially since Lamy is made in Europe. Is it naive to think wider distribution = more sales?

      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
