AmandaW Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I have three Lamy pens - charcoal and gloss black Safaris and a Graphite Al-Star - making a set of stubs for practicing my italic hand. The trouble is: they dry out so fast, it's a waste of ink to keep them inked unless I write absolutely everyday and am guaranteed to write them out before they evaporate in our mega-dry climate. I've experimented with both cartridge and converter and both are hopeless here for 6 months of the year. So today I won't be using them, but will be cleaning out dried ink - all three - after sitting for just a few weeks because life got in the way. I won't refill them until the end of summer. I would love to be able to keep them inked all the time and it definitely puts me off buying another. It's all about the greys... Link to post Share on other sites

NumberSix Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 A few weeks ago, I was on the verge of ordering a brand new CP1 pencil and ballpoint set for my "matched set" collection, and it occurred to me that I should check eBay. Found this trio, with the fountain pen, for the same price as the BP/MP would have been at Goldspot. And they're practically brand new condition. Inked up the CP1 (M) with Diamine Blue Black, and it's a great writer. Very slim but with a bit of weight - it's like a higher-end Parker Vector. Link to post Share on other sites

A very dark gray, with silver clips - and a black end on the FP. I think the current ones are all black barrel. These may be from the 90s. Link to post Share on other sites

jann3 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The good ol' Lamy 2000 (EF), inked with the Noodler's Brexit. The ink level is very low, and will be refilled with Pelikan 4001 Blau-Schwarz - one of my staples. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jann3/50787560011/ Link to post Share on other sites

I am using my Studio in Glacier today (with a standard Lamy Blue cartridge). For those of you with Lamy Glacier pens: do you see it as more blue, or more gray? At first I though it was definitely blue with a gray undertone (and I still think that in indirect daylight), but I notice under cooler artificial lighting, it looks way more gray. Maybe that's to be expected. Link to post Share on other sites

LoginlawHK Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 By the way, the lamy logo FP is a really nice pen, it even has a spring loaded clip and I love everything on this pen except one thing, the body will screw easily while you're writing. Link to post Share on other sites
LoginlawHK Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Apart from the ones I have just suggested, I also recommend lamy Tipo. They're cheap, cleverly designed and they accept pilot g2 refills! One of my favourite refills. However, the downside is, the clip will eventually break as you use it. Mine was broken in 3 months. (I use it everyday and without much caring; I used 6 g2 refills in it) Link to post Share on other sites
