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".

      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
