Pens for the left handed?

gtz | Jul 8 2007

Hi.
I'm wondering if anyone who already 'gets things done' is lefthanded.
You're supposed to get a pen you really like to take notes everywhere.

But as I'm left handed, I brush over the freshly written ink = I get a coloured hand.:(

So fountain pens seem to be no option.

I'm impressed with the Fisher Space Pen.
But I've read when you start writing with it, it squirts out a bit of extra ink.
(Coloured hand again?)

The aim is: Compact and quick drying.
What do you use / suggest?

cheers
gtz

P.S.: I have a mechanical pencil at the moment.

Hi again.
@akr95:
I LIKE the vista. Looks kool. And functional.
You lucky Aurora ink user.
This ink doesn't dry in the pen when the pen is without the cap for a few minutes?

Just checked my email and I received an answer from the Lamy Quality Control Department in Germany.
They do not know of any ink that might be quick drying enough for lefties.

And another thing:
The safari seems to be a bit bulky. (At least the cap.)
Is a mobile D.I.Y. Safari an option?
Cut off the last inch of the pen.
Makes a bit of the cartridge stick out as an indicator for when it is empty.

Who dares this first?
