Hello my pen friends
I got two new Lamy AL-stars from Amazon
Two new colors for 2021
The basic Amazon packaging is ... seriously basic
Let's have a closer look at the colors
AL-star cosmic in EF nib
Beautiful champagne gold finish
Subtle and tasteful
I put the "remove" ring back on in case you're new to Lamy
When posted, it's a little top heavy
But I like the look when posted
It reflects beautifully
Here it is without posting
AL-star azure, also in EF nib
Bluey silver or silvery blue?
The ink viewing window is useful
Almost finished the first cartridge
Ergonomic shaped grip is comfortable to use
A beautiful sophisticated color
The aluminum body is nice and light
This is the Lamy Z 28 converter
So I can use my sketch ink
Let's see these in action
First: regular photocopier paper
It flows really well with their own ink
This is my first Lamy in EF nib
This EF is thicker than Japanese EF nibs
Hmmm. Happy Bear or Grumpy Bear today?
The steel nib is rigid, but not scratchy
Next: a tougher terrain
Watercolor paper and waterproof ink
I normally sketch with an F nib Let's see how this EF gets on
So far so good
Let's try scribbling in multiple directions
and a little faster
No skipping! Great!
The nib feels solid and durable
Let's have a final look
I'm really happy with their performance
Which color would you choose?
Or, are you just like me ...
... and will go for both?
:-)
Only true stationery lover's are still watching ...
I hope I'm not alone in this passion!
Hope you enjoyed seeing these up close and personal!
