I'm so sad I missed this thread three months ago. Shall we start a FP farcaster channel? This is a new pen a friend gifted to me recently. It's writes impeccably. Especially with a Blue Dew flex nib. Ink, is your preference.

as an overhanded lefty, they are the forbidden fruit of pens for me. I simply cannot write with them, unless I want to learn to write completely upside down. Which is actually how i write calligraphy with a broad pen. Page upside down, writing right to left, bottom to top. Fountain pens make me wish I was a righty!
