This LAMY Lx ("Luxe") fountain pen features a body made from a brown double-anodized aluminum, a matching bronze-colored clip, a translucent grey triangular grip section, and a black glossy interchangeable steel nib.

There are lot of subtle details on the Lx as an enhancement over the similar AL-star model, including matching metal accents on the cap end and barrel end with a shiny diamond polish, a glossy LAMY logo on the barrel, and the laser engraving on the nib. While slightly different in appearance than the other LAMY steel nibs, they are indeed swappable as well.

This pen comes with a matching brown anodized aluminum pen case. It also comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.

Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

Like the pen...hate the nib.

I went with a medium nib on this pen and I was very displeased with it. It almost always never begins writing with my first stroke. In contrast, I have owned a Lamy Safari with a fine nib that works flawlessly every time.

First LAMY and I like the feel and the simple appearance. The grip is comfortable.

Like Butter

That’s how it writes - like butter. Very high quality pen that’s even smoother than the Safari. The only problem is that the brown and copper goes so well with my redhead wife’s coloring and she fell in love with it, so she gets a nice first fountain pen and I have to get another LX.

Very nice Lamy Safari Lx in EF

I enjoy my Lx Safari in marron (EF nib) very well. It writes smoothly like my other Lamy's with EF nibs (I've a few, two Safari's, a CP and an Ideos). The color is particularly nice and a distinctive addition to my (still modest) fountain pen collection. The special case seems robust and well made, and I'll try it out for travel this Summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
