My friend Peter (who is left-handed) and I have recorded a video for you on fountain pen use for left-handed people. Can left-handers use fountain pens? What should they take into account? What can they expect? What nibs, inks and paper might work well for them?

A very kind thank you to to Brian Goulet and Inventery for supplying most of these products! I thought it would be interesting to do a quick overview of some of the rollerballs that you can purchase that actually use fountain pen ink, because sometimes a fountain pen just won’t work you just have to use a rollerball.
