Lamy rollerballs are a good alternative to fountain pens or ballpoint pens. Combining the best of the two classic categories. Lamy rollerball pens are as easy to operate as a ballpoint and have the similarly beautiful writing of a fountain pen. Fun and functional, the Lamy AL Star is the slightly upscale version of the Safari line, upgraded with a lightweight aluminum body and a translucent, comfort-modeled gripping section. Its unique design features a flexible chrome clip and a shiny ocean blue finish.
Compatible with the LAMY M63 Rollerball Refill - available for purchase separately in black, blue, green, and red.
Some time ago I switched exclusively to Pilot Precise v5 (occasionally a v7) and even though I ordered this rollerball only to get a nicer color body for my LAMY Al-Star EMR Stylus (I really don't like the black body) I tried writing with it and it was amazing. This pen has replaced my Pilot Precise and I even ordered a couple more Al-Star pens in other colors so I wasn't stuck with the black body. I also ordered a blue refill (my preferred color) and it is just as great. The only drawback I see is that they do NOT write nearly as well on the "Write In The Rain" notebook paper as the Pilot Precise does, small price to pay for how much better they are everywhere else.
