Fountain pens – do you lot use the left handed nibs or not/ Some nib types scratch the paper when you push them, so you can get left handed ones with a kink at the end.

Tried a left handed fountain pen. It was awful. My natural way of writing left handed seems to involve holding the pen up in a really upright manner (rather than the more typical cack handedness/paper at strange angles) so the nib just kept scratching across the paper.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a fountain pen. Cartridge pens were all the rage when I was at school, can’t remember a particular problem with them other than the risk of smudging wet ink.
