I'm a lefty, and I've tried an awful lot of pens. I agree with the Energel recommendation (and primarily use Energel refills) but I'd put Zebra Sarasa gel pens alongside them.

There are other good options out there in terms of quick-drying ink, but Energel and Sarasa work especially well for me because I'm an under-writer, keeping my hand fully below the line, which lowers the angle at which the pen meets the page. Many pens don't tolerate the low angle.

used to be a pilot g-2 user but switched to zebra sarasa about a decade ago. so much better (no smearing). cobalt blue is my fave, though i have all the colors. i’ve tried energel but wasn’t as enthused by it.

Something like the Uni-ball 0.7 or 0.8 ?
