As a lefty and fountain pen fan who’s thrilled this thread hasn’t fallen back to a larger fountain pen discussion, I will say if smudges really bother you, looking for a fast-drying ink might help. WRT fountains, Noodlers [1] is pretty common and reliable.

The Pentel Energel mentioned upthread is also pretty good at not smudging.

Uni-Ball Jetstream works really well for my lefty partner.

Get the .7mm or the .5mm. Skip the 1.0mm.

As a lefty underwriter, I second this.

Since I'm a underwriter, I can also use the 1.0mm one.

Thanks for the recommendation, ordered a box online.

P.S.: really like your nametag.

thanks!

Good luck with the pens, hope you like them.
