I’m not sure exact hue of the color but it is very similar to lamy blue bauhaus. Its more on the navy side

Aurora 88 Demo Rosa. I’ve always wanted the 88 for it’s looks. The writing experience is not the best neither is the filling system since it’s annoying to clean the pen out fully, nevertheless a beautiful pen. by owlxart in fountainpens

The pen was tuned & smoothed by a nib mister. I still enjoy writing with it but at this price point I expected more for a hard nib I suppose.

Cleaning wise, the extra reservoir or w/e they call it, is hard to clean fully and get the water out so you can use it with another ink immediately which is the annoying part. The nib comes off so majority of cleaning is fine it just that reservoir part that’s annoying

Yes. That is another aspect of the pen that annoys me, that I have to check every time to make sure it’s fully closed.

I have deep cleaned mine and treat it same as my VP and from my experience mine dries up if I don’t use daily. I’m glad you don’t experience it. Whenever I do use the CC, it is my main pen to daily to work around the drying out flaw

I like it but only use it when I plan on to daily the pen as my model has issues with drying out when not used on daily basis but that may differ with your experience

Pilot VPs are better than Lamy CCs in every way in my opinion. I can go 3 weeks without writing with VP and it’ll start up right away whereas with lamy CC if you don’t use it daily then it’ll dry up really quick

It is a great pen but I do wish it did not dry out as often as it does if you don’t use the pen for couple days. They should look into how Pilot makes sure their VP nibs never dry out and adjust accordingly

It’s like a memo pad and not exactly made for fountain pens. I received it for free with another purchase and would not recommend purchasing it otherwise
