I don't anticipate my Safari collection growing too much bigger (don't quote me on that though)…but I did put a WTB ad in the classifieds this morning for that brown bear pen. It's kind of hard to resist the little guy.

I'm really excited to post in this thread as my collection has grown today.

Wow! How much did you paid for the Terracota and Savannah green pens? Where did you find them?

I'm starting to see this graphic/photo on the web.

I know I'm going to want them, anyone else?

AFAIK these were specific for Korea.

 

But I guess I would like some if they were available here in the Netherlands.

 

I'll ask my B&M if he knows about them.

My lonely two Lamys, Vista & Studio, both EF nibs as anything wider feels enormous and clumsy to me.

 

I would love to get the gold nib for my Studio; it has just the most beautiful lines to my mind, sleek and clean with a simple nib, and I love the propellor twist to the clip. It deserves a gold nib, dammit!

(Speaking of that clip, I should have thought to polish it over with a tissue before the shot..)

As a hook-handed left-hander, I'll never know what it is to write smoothly with an EF nib. They're forever a scratchy experience to me.

I admire your courage for picking up a fountain pen at all, oh inky pawed one.

Indeed, but what a selection of pens you've got! Drooling over them!

Someday, sometime I'll find the transitional model with the current yellow body but with a black clip. Quite an elusive pen!

I do not recall that pen... it's the soft or pale yellow from two pens in your picture? Maybe it's because I lost interest when Lamy change the nibs and clips of the Safari from black to chrome. In a few colors of the Al-Star makes perfect sense though...

It's the current yellow pen but with black clip and nib. It came just before Lamy switched the entire line to chrome clips. I've seen pretty few of them in the hands of collectors. Never seen one for sale.

Try in Plufi, a B&M store in San Jeronimo shopping mall, in front of a vehicle repair shop. They usually have all their old stock waiting to be sold along with all the new stuff... I've purchased a few Lamy and Caran d'Ache old items.

I will, thanks for the tip!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
