As a leftie and a fountain pen user, I think the choice (matching) of paper is often overlooked. Earlier I was after “the right pen” and now I know which pens will work well on which kinds of paper.

Sadly, it means that Rhodia premium paper is off limits for me except of EF nibs and dry inks.

Uni tank ballpoints, on the other hand, pair with any kind of paper and even write upside down.
