Looking around the Art Brown website I came upon this Lamy Al-Star in Coffee Brown in the new Coffee Brown color. Definitely putting this on my wish list, they are available in May and I would imagine will be in stock for the Spring pen fair in (Wednesday, May 12 to Friday, May 14 from 9:30 to 5 pm). There's a rollerball as well, and a ballpoint--I don't remember looking at the Lamy ballpens as I only had eyes for the fountain pen and rollerballs so seeing it will be interesting. Especially if it will accept a gel ink refill, which I've done used my Rotring 900 and Faber-Castell ballpens.
What a beautiful color! What nib size will you get?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zuzu . . . love that color!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the coffee brown is really nice. It looks like a matte brown, but maybe there's some aluminum sparkle in it.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lamy EF and F nibs, and I have one of each. So I'm thinking maybe a medium nib this time, but we'll see.
Too bad Lamy doesn't make a "thinline" version for greater pocketability. Great nib, ergonomics.

I'm not a fan of brown but this Lamy is great! I was just reading about coffee and pens in LadyDandelion's blog. Better start my coffee machine.
