I ordered the medium nib drop last time it was available, and unfortunately it has been an utter disappointment despite thorough cleanings and multiple ink types. Hopefully it is a one-off, but would not order this pen again after my experience.

sherlockdoI just joined the drop. Can you elaborate on "disappointment despite thorough cleanings"? Not sure what you mean by this, is it the feed?

HanshiYes, the ink flow has been inconsistent but mostly dry, and writing on clairefontaine paper (e.g. Rhodia books and pads) has been scratchy more than smooth. I have cleaned with distilled water (not tap) and commercially available cleaning solutions without much improvement. I have not used abrasives to try fine-tuning the nib, or anything that would void a warranty.
