Lamy Al-Star Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Aluminum Body

I love the Fine nib, it is perfect. I own a safari with an Extra Fine nib and I ended up purchasing another F nib and changing it out (there are some really simple video tutorials on youtube!) because I just write way too fast for the EF. This pen is very durable and is very attractive. It is also comfortable to write with. I love fountain pens, and the Lamy is definitely high-quality.

Writes very nicely. I save five star reviews for things which are unbelievably great. This is just very good, and I'm not inclined to pay any more than this for a fountain pen. I buy them to write with, not to display.

Writes very smoothly, and feels good in my hand. I got the extra-fine nib, and absolutely cannot tell the difference between it and the fine nib on my Lamy Safari in side by side writing. Not really important, as it's just about where I want it for the kind of writing I do.

The fact that it seems a sturdier than the Safari justifies the extra money. The Al-Star will see a lot of use.

I think this is the most beautiful color in the al-star series. Writes smooth. I fall in love with fountain pens again~

My first Lamy!

I love this pen; it does not bleed ink, and it starts right up, no matter how long you have gone between uses.

I ordered this pen along with a converter so that I can use any colored ink that I wish. I am very glad that I purchased this pen rather than something lighter, since I prefer the feel of a slightly heavier pen. As far as the extra fine nib goes, I do not find it too fine for my handwriting, it actually makes my handwriting look much better ^.^ Now I cannot wait for my second fountain pen to arrive.
