This Lamy Al-Star
The Lamy Al-Star still has its original Lamy black ink in it. Even though the nib is a M, the pen still feels a little scratchy on regular paper. I think it’s the ink. The black ink goes on black, but dries to more of a dark grey color and doesn’t have as much saturation as the Noodler’s Ink Black.
For an extra $10, is it worth getting the Al-Star instead of the Safari? Depends on if you like the aluminum body or not. It does look more chic, but I’d rather save the $10 and put it towards buying another bottle of ink.
gahhh~~~~ me + fountain pen = mega disaster waiting to happen. i had a little episode with my brother’s history 11 project and a particularly explosive fountain pen that led to some major beating afterward …
ball point for me! haha
but it writes beautifully
