Lamy Safari Al-Star Fountain Pen - Silver, Fine Nib, Model 025 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just in case you're confused: The Lamy Al-Star is the same pen as the Safari Vista and Safari- the only difference between the models is the material out of which the body is made- the Al-Star is aluminum, the Vista clear ABS Plastic, and the Safari various colors of ABS Plastic. The reviews you read for the Safari apply to the Al-Star, if you're looking for a bit more info.
I personally own an Al-Star, opting for it over the Safari because I wanted a fountain pen that was as rugged as possible. And I made the right choice- it's a wonderful pen. In the end, I'm not sure what else to say! I have an extra-fine point, and it is incredibly sharp. No need to write slowly.
I definitely recommend getting the converter- eventually you'll find that cartridges are a waste of money, and that the best inks around seem to be bottle-only. Don't worry- filling from a bottle isn't a messy ordeal in the least.
Bottom line: great pen! Great for a beginner, or for an existing FP user who wants something more practical than show-off.

Lamy Safari Al-Star Fountain Pen - Graphite - Extra Fine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this pen because I wanted to see if I could get accustom to writing with a fountain pen. I originally purchased it with an extra fine nib, but also bought a fine nib for it as well. I found the extra fine nib to produce a width that I really love, but it seemed to be somewhat scratchy on most paper. The fine nib was a little wide for my taste, but it did write and feel very smooth. The pen itself is very nice. It felt good in my hand and the weight was nice. There's simply a lot of value to be had here. If I had one complaint about this pen, it's the design. I understand it's suppose it's suppose to look a little more modern than most pens, but it's just not an attractive pen to me. If that's something you can look past or if you do like the look of this pen, then you're gonna get a lot of pen for your money here. I liked the pen so much, in fact, that I almost immediately went out and bought a Lamy Studio Steel Fountain Pen.
