What Lamy Are You Using Today?

[Guardy]

Lamy Safari, red - exchanged the 1.1 mm stub for the old, black F nib from my AL-Star... which writes more like a pretty juicy M. Currently filled with Lamy Black.

 

Lamy Safari, petrol, F nib - finally. My sister dearest has been promising me a Christmas present for pretty much exactly four months and we both kept forgetting about it, so I decided to gently nudge her towards my favorite (read as: only) stationery store today. Worth it. What a fascinating color - and the complete lack of contrast looks interesting. Filled with Lamy Blue, because it came with a cartridge and I don't have a free Lamy converter at the moment. I hate Lamy Blue even more than Pelikan royal blue because it reminds me so much of grade school, but eh.

If I ever have too much money, I might try and get my hands on one of the gold/black 14k nibs, because that would look amazing.

 

Lamy AL-Star, silver-green, EF nib - suffers from a broken inner cap, which means that the cap only stays on the pen if you rotate it just right. Decided to fix it while I was going through my entire Lamy collection anyways, using the really low-tech solution: a bit of artist tape to cover the crack from the inside. It's not a perfect or pretty solution, but it works... and besides, the pen is a good twelve years old now, and looks pretty beat up anyway. Currently filled with GvFC hazelnut brown.

Purdy Purdy Purdy! Your first pic makes the pens look like they came out of a James Bond film.

I agree. They look stealthy, kind of like military issue instruments.

Safari 1.1 and Lamy blue cartridge

Lamy 2000 OBB, I mean Lamy 2000 Paintbrush. Lol, great smooth nib, but it is a signature pen.

Lamy 2000 EF, to replace the one run over by multiple trucks a couple years back, arrived yesterday in the mail.

 

Wetter than the first one, still putting down about the same line width with Noodler's Black.

 

The piston is a bit sticky, so when the first ink load is done, if it persists, then a bit of silicone grease ought to fix it.

Safari Charcoal with EF nib. Going to gift a couple Safari EFs to newbies, so I got an EF nib for my Safari to see what it would be like. Good reliable writer. If there ever was a work horse, this would be it.

Blue Safari, filled with Diamine Blue Velvet ink. A good combination.

Lamy 2000... I've neglected, for quite a while now, my Safari fountain pens.

 

Maybe next week I'll change my questionable conduct!

Lamy Imporium M nib - impulse buy as it was under half price (just £117). At first I thought it was writing rather too wet as the ink I'd put in it, Kyo-Iro Soft Snow of O'Hara I consider to be on the dryer side, Tried a blue Lamy cart, no longer gushing Refilled the converter with Lamy black and it's writing well (plus black ink in a black stealth pen ...).

Currently my black Imporium with XF nib is among my inked pens.

 

This was my first big pen buy after 2.5 years. It's a nice pen.
