Esterbrook pastels didn't go over that great and are quite collectable now. These may go the same route.

It won't be long before Lamy run out of colors and they start releasing animal patterns like Zebra or Giraffe, quite suited to the name then

Good point. Although for the most part I don't like those colors either... At least not enough to be willing to pay the inflated prices.

The blue one isn't bad looking. The um, pink one? Not so much.... :sick:

Wonderful!

 

I was wondering when the new Safari colors would be announced.

 

Are any of the colors designed to match with the new ink?

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Doesn't look like it. I think the T53-Series is independent from any other color trends.

Seeing TWSBI, suddenly the Lamy colors look appealing. :D

Hmm, nice colours, but not for me. But I wonder if they'll do an LE ink for these as well???

 

 

If the AlStar is going Bronze, however.... At least I will be going for the ink...

Apologies to everyone. I didn't intend to thread-jack by posting the TWSBI photo here except to point out the remarkable coincidence. Now when I see statements in this thread like "I'm feeling the blue one" I'm not sure what people are referring to.

 

Discussion about the TWSBI colors really should be in the TWSBI forum. I've started a thread over there which is seeing very little interest.

 

 

As far as the 2019 Safari goes, I like the pastel blue and the green but not so much the pink. I do like the color-coordinated center bands, that's a nice touch.

My budget will be safe. I like the pale blues, but not enough that I feel like I need to buy a new Lamy OR TWSBI. And I hate both pinks.

      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
