LAMY AL-star whitesilver - Fountain Pen with ergonomic grip & polished steel nib in size F - lightweight aluminum body - including LAMY T 10 blue cartridge - Right-Handed

The pen is wonderful: doesn't dry up easily, the nib is smooth as is the ink flow. It's very comfortable and easy to use, definitely one of my top 3 favourites.

Heard a lot about these fountains pens the Lamy AL-Star so decided to get one as I use ink pens.Very nice pen so far with good consistent Ink flow and good writing experience.I think they are very good value for how much they cost.

Very good pen. I use this for journalling all the time and it feels very niche. The ink flow is good. The size is kinda bulky but other wise okay and it functions very well.

Smart, stylish pen. The EF nib took a bit of running in but seems good now. The nib is a bit scratchy but I'm a left hander which might be why. I prefer the feel of the AL to the plastic ones, feels a bit more premium.

The matt black finish, accented by the black stainless steel nib, looks very smart. The body and cap are all metal and it feels like a premium item, with just the right amount of weight. I like the chunky feel of the pen, and the flat facets of the section (finger grips near the nib). It writes very smoothly and evenly. Would be a 5 star review if it came with the ink converter provided.

Pen is supplied in minimalist card box, along with one blue Lamy ink refill. The finish is very smooth and modern: it feels like a quality items and looks more expensive than it is. The graphite colour looks particularly good: it looks a bit like titanium metal.The pen is mainly made of aluminium, and is quite lightweight. The little 'capsule' shape in the barrel is a hole ( there one on both sides of the pen): this allows you to keep an eye on the ink level without opening it up. The cap is 'push to fit' and there is a subtle click to indicate that it is on properly. The clip is strong and springy: it should stay put in your pocket/ bag. The nib is stainless steel, and writes a nice wet, even line: no flooding, not scratchy. There is some flex in the nib ( which is a good thing), and it writes almost as nicely as my 'daily driver' pen: a Pelikan M200 (fine nib), which is high praise (the Pelikan is much more expensive). The sculpted (plastic) grip is very comfortable to hold for long periods of time ( I'm right handed).This pen will take the Lamy Z24 converter ( less than £4), which allows the use of bottled ink instead of cartridges ( much cheaper, better variety of inks available).If you are interested in video reviews of pens like these, you may be interested in SBREBrowns Youtube videos.

Nice writing pen and I really like the grip - this almost triangular type grip makes holding the pen much more pleasant. Only had this modestly priced fountain pen for a couple of weeks but been impressed with the flow of ink and the nib is quite smooth: it has a bit more feedback than the other fountain pen I own (Monteverde Invincia Stealth) but this Lamy pen is more than half the price and any minor feedback (i.e. slight scratching) only really noticeable on low quality paper (not sure would have noticed if did not also have the Monteverde to compare against)Having the see-through window is a nice touch so you can see your level of ink.I like that replacing the nib is really easy if needed or if I simply want to used a different sized nib - placing tape over the top of the nib & pulling on the tape, away from the pen, works a treat to remove while putting back in just needs you to push while holding edges of the nib. I like idea of having one pen with more than one nib: much more economical option than buying multiple pens if you are looking for option of different writing styles.A little bit disappointed that pen did not come with a converter so can use with bottled ink. Something to be considered if you use or planning to use bottled ink: basic converter not too expensive but still an extra £3/4.

Amazing, I use this for drawing, it's beautiful to sketch in all directions. Worth noting that all ink is water based so can't paint over the lines sadly but worth it regardless.
