Does it wipe clean with other pens?

MegaFighter_XNo. The "wipe" process is currently exclusive to Frixion pens, though I imagine other companies may also be looking into similar technology. They use an ink that essentially looks clear after reaching a certain temperature (more details here: https://www.nippon.com/en/features/c00520/). The act of adding friction (by the erasing gesture) is the default way to make the ink disappear as it will generate enough heat at the point of contact. With Rocketbooks, erasing is taken a step further by allowing you to directly microwave the notebook safely so that the ink throughout the book will all look clear and disappear from sight. With the Everlast, it continues to rely on the friction element to make full wipes look clean, so even if the bits that stick are still around, the act of rubbing the page will make it disappear. Other ink will be prone to sticking to the page texture regardless of water solubility and won't make for clean pages after wiping with just water. Frixion itself is handy for regular use, and I'd recommend the pen line more than the notebook itself (you'll still see pressure marks after erasing which I personally wouldn't want a whole notebook of). Just be wary of leaving your paper exposed to extreme warmth or cold.

increvadeIf you wouldn't mind describing what you mean by "extreme" heat and cold that would be super helpful

AlexJucanI think I've seen a video of the ink disappearing under a lighter's heat.

AlexJucanInk color disappears at 60°C and reappears at -10°C. I've lost notes before by leaving notes made with Frixion by my laptop fan for too long. I've also had notes reappear when I left a notebook in the car while in the mountains. That all said, as long as you're mindful of where you keep your paper materials, it's not that hard to avoid those situations.
