I can see why people like to collect the Safari, the colors are interesting.

Dammit.

 

Just when I say "Girl! NO MORE LAMYS!! Enough already" they do this. Do I want both? Of course.

 

I write with Lamys every day. I was an Al-Star fan mostly, but the Safari has wormed its way into my heart as fave because I won't dent it. Only the nibs seem a bit rough these days. But I just love writing with them.

If you google the Al-Star 2017 colour on Amazon Japan, you will see it appears a bit darker than in the OP. I think it will look very good and will probably wait to get my first Al-Star until these come out, since I've been looking for a nice colour with chrome nib (not a fan of the standard colours that come with that nib).

I will get both.

 

Petrol is a weird name for an ink (don´t you think the same?) used by some companies for that shade of ??? (name it).

 

For example, the ink Petrol by DeAtramentis is just this same colour, so the match will be perfect.

 

I will get mine from LCdC, of course, since they offer these pens with gold nibs, I mean the new BLACK gold nibs or the usual chromed-and-yellow gold nibs.

I'll definitely get a Petrol Safari. I think it will pair nicely with my Dark Lilac. I wonder if they'll having a matching ink as well?

My thoughts exactly!

If you are reffering to this one...

This is the Lamy AL-Star "oceanblue" from 2009. Still in production.

 

The new color for 2017 is supposed to be much lighter. More on the azur- or cyan-side.

 

 

And this...

This is a simple Lamy Safari blue.

According to our wholesaler AL-star should be released in February and Safari in April - at least here in Scandinavia.

      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
