On June 22, 2018 my Clear Aurora Optima (Medium) joined its comrades when it was filled with Aurora Blue Black. The pen was in use for about 6 months and was emptied and cleaned on December 18, 2018, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I was given six ink samples for Father’s Day, and today I decided I want to try them all out! This combination was an obvious choice. I’ve been wanting to use my Optima again and now I have a great reason do so.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

I reinforced that I love Aurora nibs and that I rarely have situations in which a medium nib works for me. I still enjoy this using this pen when I can, and the ink was a good blue-black. I suspect I’d get more use out of this pen with a fine or extra-fine nib.
