    Good ink flow and lightweight
    Good pen with good ink flow from the included cartridge. Medium nib writes a bit wide for my taste. Good for drawing. The ink is a bright royal blue. Pen is well balanced without the cap on the end. Not too heavy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Pen for the Fountain Pen Beginner... Or Anyone Else
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017
    I'm a fountain pen virgin. Or, I was until I recently ordered this LAMY Al-Star pen, refill converter, and Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black Ink.

    I've spent the past several years buying packs of uni-ball black pens because the ink's thickness was just right. And I never had to shake them in order to make them work. They're solid pens. But as I thought about the number of pens I went through - and their cost - I thought it might make more sense to go the fountain pen route. So I hit up the old Google and - after perusing a few fountain pen-aficionado sites - finally decided on this pen to begin my fountain pen journey.

    And all I can say is "Wow! What a difference a fountain pen makes!" This is a solidly built pen that writes beautifully. The nib isn't too big so the line it draws is about the same as that of my uni-ball fine pens. I wouldn't mind eventually venturing out and trying some different nibs but as an every day nib, this one is perfect. Likewise, the aluminum casing gives it a modern finish and leaves it feeling light in the hand.

    Likewise, the inside of the pen is well made and feels solid. Some people might not like the angled grip but I happen to like the fact that it directs your fingers exactly where to go. It's also so easy to fill/re-fill that anyone can learn how in a few minutes. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't include any instructions. I got on YouTube to make sure I was getting it set up correctly.

    As you can see from the images there is a little window in the sides that allow you to see how much ink you have left. This is a nice feature though ultimately unnecessary. I'll know I need ink when my pen quits writing.

    There's not really anything I would change about it.

    This may be my first fountain pen but it won't be my last.
