I am left-handed and the Energel has totally changed my life— it’s the best pen I’ve ever had. I have recently come to believe Pentel is (pardon the cliche) the Apple of writing instruments. They’ve simply PM’d the hell out of their product over time, and it really shows.

Lefty here as well. I always preferred the precision and consistency of a 0.5mm mechanical pencil over any type of pen. The option to easily erase a mistake is pretty nice. And the option to write from very faint to fairly heavy comes in handy.

you could try pilot frixion that uses ink that you can erase with rubber end of the pen because the ink is heat-sensitive.

Also a lefty and I agree wholeheartedly. I stockpile them because I'm worried they'll be discontinued and I'll be back to smudged ink on everything.
