I have been enjoying using my Kaweco Liliput recently. Dainty, I think you'd probably describe it

🤏🏻 (Or 'bloody tiny’!)

🫧 It was a dry writer when I picked it up. A soak in washing liquid and water helped a bit, but more needed to be done

I got violent with the nib in the end, and it now writes a gorgeous wet line

Have you had a problematic nib in the past, and how did you fix it (or is it still troublesome?!)
