    Cool Write the Rainbow - my Lamy Safari pens

    Most of my collection consists of Lamy Safari pens. I just really love the bright colors and affordable durability of the pen. Here are some pics I've taken:

    Yes according to Brandon but they are harder to pull off the Hero.

    Thanks! I haven't actually tried swapping the Hero and Lamy nibs yet - the Hero M nib wrote so nicely I wasn't even tempted haha

    Absolutely really like the one in the "Meadow Green" photo--is that a current color or is it one of those $600.00 collector greens like Savannah?

    Unfortunately, it's the 2008 Limited Edition Lime Green Safari color - so it's pretty hard to find now. The closest is the 2012 Apple Green which is still fairly available on ebay.

    Another pic, this time a lovely Tardis blue.


    Sadly, this Limited Edition Coffee Al-Star was recently lost:


    Pink is such a juicy summery color:


    I am sooooooo ready for Spring!!

    More Lamy Safari Pen Porn!

    I recently got the 2014 Neon Coral Limited Edition and LOVE the color! No, it doesn't have a name yet.


    But it looks really awesome next to the greens/limes:


    And while the 2014 Bluegreen Al-Star is more green than blue, I still really like the color:

    It is a shame the purple one is not a Lamy.
