What Lamy Are You Using Today?

[Mike 59]

Hi, After using Safaris for several years, I've just bought an AL-star, I think the colour might be discontinued now, explaining why I got it at a slightly reduced price in a card/ pen/novelty type of shop.

I need to do a proper post somewhere about this pen at some point but I'm using my custom holo Al-Star. It was originally blue but was chipped and became a good tester for an artistic urge.

I really need to. It has some Baystate Blue in it for now, but I need shimmer. What I really need is holographic shimmer ink but my experiments for that have not been successful so far.

I love that custom "holo" Al-Star Kyrina.

 

I'm using my Dark Lilac Safari with Dark Lilac ink. I haven't use this pen/ink for 2 months and am, once again, wowed by both.

Lamy pens never, ever fail to impress!

Lamy LX Rose Gold, broad nib, filled with Graf von Faber Castell Hazelnut Brown from a sample.

Several months after buying it, today I have at last opened my Dark Lilac Safari (M), and started using one of the cartridges of Dark Lilac ink that came with it.

Can *anyone* explain why LAMY decided to make this ink *only* a Limited Edition?

I am not asking anyone to explain why they also decided to NOT sell it in bottled form in Europe; because *that* is beyond all sensible explanation. Eejits :-(

I didn't know Lamy did not offer Dark Lilac in bottled form in Europe. It's very strange, especially since Lamy is made in Europe. Is it naive to think wider distribution = more sales?
