I love the yellow Safari best, because the colour just brightens up everything! That said the Savannah Green also has a special place in my heart, because it was my first Lamy, gifted to me by my late father when I got into university 30 odd years ago. I also adore the purple Al-Star! Then in no particular order I lovelovelove the neon yellow, neon coral, white, and matte charcoal Safaris and the graphite Al-Star.

Actually it's my only one. I ditched all the others I had as I hate writing with them, but I just loved this colour.....

I love the aluminium colour with the black clip. Was sorry to hear it's being discontinued. I use mine with the 1.1 nib and a brown shaeffer ink to liven long meetings.

Previously I would of said the Ruby Red Al-Star

 

However, that Neon Yellow Safari really is something else. Picked one up today and it keeps burning my eyes every time I glance at it on my desk

This is my entire collection and I'd have to say I'm partial to the yellow on the left because it was the first one I ever bought. Yet, I'm partial to the last two on the right as they are my most recent purchase. Actually I like 'em all. Lamy makes nice colors.

The lamy 2000 and the Vista transparent with the 1.1 italic nib. Both are so smooth and easy to write with.

I thought you'd go for the coffee AlStar, Brother.

I hate - truly despise - orange. And yet, my answer to this question is an unqualified Copper Orange.

I really like the griso safari! Unfortunately Lamy stopped producing them some time ago...

After all these months, I guess my original favs changed just a bit, my current favorite colors are:

 

1. Al-Star coffe (thinking of adding a gold nib to make it ever more appealing)

2. Safari Orange Flame

3. Safari Yellow (current edition)

      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
