If ever a pen deserved to be in purple, it was the Safari!

I do hope that Lamy also introduces bottled purple ink as a companion to this pen! :thumb:

Would like to have it for Philly Show, but will probably be out afterward.

This is due out in April- it is a great looking pen!

There will be ink to match...
(Charged Green ink as well)

All updates from my Lamy Rep!

Just how many Lamy Safari pens does a girl need? I have just received an excited email from my daughter announcing the availability of the purple Safari. Now admittedly I like purple, and I have indulgently bought her one of each colour so far, but this means that I will have to find an ink to match.

I was able to order one just now.

Don't forget to use the SBREBROWN coupon code to shave another 10% off the sale price.

I have learned if you like an ink when it comes out then get extra !!!

Finally got my Lamy Safari Dark Lilac with a bottle of ink.

The pen worked beautifully from the start. I haven't used a Lamy Safari in ages and had forgotten what a smooth writer it is. The beveled section is like a friendly reminder to hold the pen with an appropriate tripod grip.

The ink looks nice. Too bad is has no water resistance.

Hey Carlos, can you buy fountain pens on the island, or do you have to get them sent in?

There are a few places where you can still buy fountain pens and ink on the island, mainly in Plaza Las Americas (Pen Shoppe, Campo Marzio and a store that mainly sells watches but also Montblanc pens). However the best place is a store in the Hato Rey area called Art-Tek which sells art and drafting supplies. The very friendly owner has set up a showroom where he sells Lamy, Pilot, Waterman, Sheaffer, Cross and others.

I almost forgot: there is a Montblanc boutique in the tourist sector.
