I'm left-handed, so I like fast-drying ink. I prefer a thin, but dark line. Here are some of the pens I like using.

1. Pentel Energel needlepoints 0.5 (BLN75 or the BLN105); refills fit a Lamy Tipo. It's a great everyday pen.

2. Zebra Sarasa 0.5 - lots of variations of this pen with lots of pretty ink colors and cute body styles. I would use it more, if it were available in local shops. I don't order stationery.

I tried the often lauded Pilot G2, but wasn't a fan. It often would smear.
