Any lefties wanna chime in? Love the charm of a fountain pen, convinced my left-handedness would hamper the experience greatly.
I’m a lefty. Been using fountain pens exclusively for years. Find a quick drying ink and paper. I love Kon Peki (great blue that dries fast enough for me to write). And don’t worry about having ink on your hands. You look like an artist.
My advice to fellow fountain pen users is to get one of those syringes. It’s just so much easier and so little mess, a rare object that is both cheap and effective. No more angling your ink bottle, no more rotating or squeezing converters, no more wiping down the pen, no more accidental palm discoloration. Just one pull, one push, rinse, and done.
DO NOT carry your pen in your shirt pocket with a phone if you don't want to lose it answering a call.

I’ve never thought about trying this to refill a converter. I assume this is what you’re getting at? Or are you just refilling regular (normally disposable) cartridges?

Been using one for 10 years. Same pen. Love it. I need to find me a syringe though.
Much better bang for the buck, the Zebra disposable fountain pens. A pack of 7 different colors for less than $15 [1]. For those who don't know (I didn't), Zebra is a Japanese company [2]. The quality of their pens meets my expectations for Japanese craftsmanship. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Fuente-Disposable-Fountain-Colo...

I think the state of our planet indicates that we should try to avoid disposable things.
