Your Favorite Lamy Safari Color?


Garageboy

Recommended Posts

After acquiring a number of different color Safari and Al-Star pens, I've decided that the real winner is the Dark Lilac. The matte finish makes it a no worry option for carrying absolutely anywhere. I don't have to worry about marring the finish as I do with the Al-Stars. I also like the black medium nib. It produces a wet line and is a super smooth writer.

My current favorite would be the 2006 Blue with Red clip.

I'd have to say Dark Lilac and also, Apple Green. The latter is perfectly complemented by Visconti Blue ink.

I bought a Safari to use the italic nibs. The color available happened to be aquamarine. I love the color. Second would be the charcoal. All the colors are nice. I like aquamarine and charcoal best, because they are subtle.

My favorite is still matte charcoal. Mine is an EF which writes true to width. (With the Safari, I've had EFs that wrote more like Fines.) I hope Lamy releases one or two more regular colors but with the textured matte finish. I've never liked the gloss versions.

Hi,

 

I am new to Lamy pens. My first purchase was the Safari Charcoal with a fine nib, which I received about two weeks ago. I really enjoy this pen very much and it writes well for me. I use Diamine Oxblood ink in this pen. I love the dark red against the charcoal pen.

 

I have a Dark Lilac with an EF nib on the way along with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses ink. My wife really loves purple, so sadly I may not get to keep this Lamy once she sees it. If that does happen, I will order one for myself.

I believe Dark Lilac and the 2017 teal should become regular issues, just like Umbra.

 

 

Along with white, black and the primary colors, as well as pink and the Vista, Safari moves from a school pen to an every day carry for all ages.

 

 

The light gray with matte texture should be re-issued and matte textured white, black, primary colors and pink should be attractive to the same market that used and/or still uses the regular plastic Safari.

 

 

A matte textured French Blue and gradient of blues and pinks (from baby pink to dark magenta) would also be welcomed, similar to the green and yellow variant of years past.

Yellow is my favorite color, followed by the Vista. I don't have any Safaris, but, if I were to buy one, definitely it would be the yellow.

Did you order another Dark Lilac? How does the family like them?

      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
