And now you can get a cheap fountain pen that won't leak and writes delightfully.
Financially, you're probably better off with hundreds of cheap Bics, but fountain pen ink lasts a long time.

Just wait until you start mixing inks to produce your own signature colour. It gets to the point where your ink is as unique as your calligraphy.
If you're right handed.
Fountain pens simply don't work for lefties, without writing in a completely unnatural way.
Edit: Just wrote some test lines, forward and backward. My whole hand is multiple lines down in the notebook. Writing in a way so as to get my pen-hand on the same line I'm writing feels incredibly weird to me. I think it just goes to show that whatever you get used to feels natural.
I used to smudge all the time as a righty.
I have taken time to adjust habits in day-to-day activities. Luck seems to apply only insofar as I do not am neurally and physically typical enough that I can adjust these habits.
If you don't like something, especially if it's your own behavior (and writing style is absolutely a behavior), it is likely within your power to change it. Maybe you would need help from a coach or perhaps pharmacological or therapeutic if there is some pathology.
For me, it is always a no-brainer to change things that annoy me.
