Write Left is a brand new series all about affordable fountain pens, notebooks, papers, inks, stationery, and analog writing in general...all from the perspective of a lefty. Fellow lefties... you know the fountain pen challenges :) But Righties, I've got you covered, too.

I've got the exact same pen, and I love the LH nib. It's so comfortable, writes smoothly, it's the perfect pen for me.

In my experience with the Lamy Left Hand nib you really don't notice much of a difference until you've written for about a half hour or so, say three pages, and realize how much better it feels for your hand.

thanks. I am left handed, your video is helpful. I've decided to buy a LH nip.

Just found this video and really appreciate your insight. I am a left-handed fountain pen newbie. I am actually eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first fountain pen! I have really wanted to try using fountain pens for years but held off because of smudging concerns (I am a side writer and turn my paper) I am hoping to find the best combination that will allow me to enjoy the beauty of fountain pens. Feel free to share any additional insight that may be helpful. Thanks!

Do you have purchasing info on the pens you used and the nibs and the inks?
Thank you.

I am a left handed over line writer. I have not been writing but currently taking an online course to improve it. My wife has numerous pens and gifted me a Sheaffer 300 M pen a few years ago. I have tested my Sheaffer against numerous pens and the closest to it has been the LAMY Safari M although it has more scratch on my push strokes. I have on order my own Safari with the LH nib but then saw the LAMY LX Marron. The nibs are a bit different from the others in this line of pens, Safari, AL-Sport. Some reviews say softer, others not so. Considering returning the Safari and getting the LX M. Wondering if it is worth also ordering the LH nib as well. Any F nibs are scratchy that I have tried. Thoughts?
