It looks like the Petrol Safaris will be out fairly soon. I have noticed that pen retailers are putting out their listings for it and that typically happens within a month of release.

Goulet told me this week for the Al Star and April for the Petrol... and they THINK there will be a matching ink for it.

I love the Safari color, but the matte. Matte on the Safari feels too brittle for my tastes. :(

 

For me the matte finish feels a little better from a grip standpoint and does not tend to show tiny scratches like the gloss finish Safaris.

That last picture shows the color pretty well. I can't tell, though, whether that's a black nib or a silver nib. Either way, I'll be getting it in a stub. I love stubs, and they seem to write better (to me) than the regular nibs of Lamy's. Love the ink color. I tried Lamy Coral ink once and it seemed very dry to me; so dry I had to try another brand of coral for that pen. But we'll see. If I can I'll get a sample of it first.

 

I like Al-Stars better than Safaris, but that color is my favorite, so I'll have to get the pen. For sure. Do I need another pen? Heck, no. Oh, well. I just love that color! :wub:

I'm new to Lamy and I think it is neat they do these special colors. I'm looking forward to picking up a Petrol in medium nib.

      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
