Pens are the only left-handed designed product I've ever found I really needed. Aside from scissors or computer mice maybe, but I grew up using my right hand for those activities.

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.
My daughter is left hand and has no problem writing with it with the occasional bleed with a M nib. It's like magic.
Something about the stick rollerball means that whatever weird angle I attack the page, it writes. Ink dries instantly as well, difficult to smear it even on the cheapest paper.

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.
The old pens are hard to find refills for nowadays. But the newer pens have refills all over ebay.
The only thing I've consciously forced myself to learn to use right handed are firearms. Left handed firearms are hard to find, and using right-handed ones with your left hand creates a lot of hardships.
Yes that's what I do too!
