Yes I understand my nails do not look great. Thanks for the tip.
So pretty. Damn you left-handedness!!! It just doesn't work well when you push instead of pull to write 😭.
I cannot write left-handed to save my life, but I tested a pushing style writing and this nib performed well.
This is an omniflex nib so it seems to be pretty forgiving in terms of applied pressure! I'm currently working on a review of it!
I have tried several of the ones the husband has and while they work, the experience is not great. I have a couple with left hand nibs that do the job for me and I love my pink Lamy Safari. I understand why lefties were made to write right-handed, quick drying ink is a must. 😂
Oh yes, I suppose that woukd be the case in regards to the ink!
I have not encountered a left hand nib! I might need to do some research on that one!
Safaris are awesome! I've got a few Al-Stars but I do need to grab myself a few sets of Safaris as well.
I've found some stuff on left-handed writing! There is a shopping guide at the bottom so maybe that will help!

Very nice, thanks for the link. Our family is majority lefthanders.
This is great!! The kid and I are both lefties.
Excellent! I hope this helps! Sounds like you nailed it with the Safari though, I see several lefties mention them and how good they are.
Treat yourself and get an extra fine gold nib for it and turn your Safari into a premium pen!
Oh wow! Well hopefully this helps them too!
I hadn't considered the issues of being left-handed so I'm glad they were raised! I'll certainly keep that in the back of my mind so I can consider that angle when writing reviews!
I passed the link on to the family group.
Yup, we gloried in our left-handedness. :)
