This stunning Lamy Safari AL-star fountain pen comes in beautiful anodized aluminium and is one of the two 2021 special edition colours.
Lamy has been inspiring the world with its iconic fountain pen designs since 1966. Lamy is a market leader among German writing instrument manufacturers and is a world-wide acknowledged design brand of international significance. The Lamy AL-star is a lovely performing fountain pens that can take both bottled ink and cartridges.
Bought with converter. favorite parts are:
the nib/converter/etc - quiet, clean design. no problems and good flow when testing with current tiny arsenal of inks
the grip - I adjusted to the grip no problem (i dont use a lot of triangular grips but I tend to like/ease into them easily)
however I can see the indents being too close/thin for some hands. The main colour and the translucent black grip pair very well together!
ease of use - a straightforward fountain pen 👍
A pro/con:
When posting, the weight tips all the way to the end/sits at the very tip rather than a portion of the pen end.
(as it would, but the AL-star safari is more affected by the cap than my prev experiences). The distribution makes sense though since the main body is very very light and
Overall I like it! it's simple, comfortable (not 'snug' in the hand but comfortably airy), and great for taking notes.
