Non-smearing Left Handed Pens for Int'l Left Handers Day!

[@aikolau7046]

I am a lefty, and oh boy, these ink smudges are all over my papers. You see, I'm in junior High, and we use pens everyday. I always get ink smudges, so after I finish one word, I stop for a bit so it could dry. Scissors. They are extremely hard to cut with for other people who are lefties, but for me, I don't see a problem. Just position it in your hands like a righty, no problem at all! The bigger hole goes on the bottom, and the small hole of the scissors go on top. But if you have kid-friendly scissors, sorry, I can't help you.

[@CutieRingoJoy]

Marshmallow Twitch what kind of scissors do you have there? In my country all scissors and same level for the fingers and my mum is left and I’m right for scissors and we both use the same one without issues

These are just my personal recommendations... both the Pentel Energel and Zebra Sarasa offer a metal-bodied pen for those interested in a premium pen which holds the refills for both brands: the Pentel Energel Philography, Zebra Sarasa Grand and Zebra Rougel (as Kimberly mentions). Personally, the Grand and Rougel are my favorites (can't choose between the two). Would love to see Zebra add additional colors to the Grand line. Also, while I can't speak for the Sarasa Dry as I've never used this particular pen, I would recommend the Jetstream (or any oil-based ballpoint ink pen) for those who use highlighter pens when writing. There's absolutely no smearing! As for the Energel ink, I would wait, perhaps 10 to 20 seconds, before highlighting over text as smearing is more likely with gel pens. Useful video; thanks Tokyo Pen Shop!

Does anyone else watch these videos and immediately place an order??? 🤭🤫

[@TokyoPenShop]

Haha....sorry, Michelle!

I'm a lefty and I agree with the energel pick. But I still tend to use coletos and juices and sarasa clips more often because I love colors. It works as long as I'm careful not to go thicker than 0.5. Also, I find that the texture of the paper determines the amount of smearing. My favorite planner uses a very smooth paper, almost photo paper-like, and any pen I use on it smears (except the 0.3's of course). Thanks for doing this video. A leftie high five to you!

[@TokyoPenShop]

Excellent point about the paper! Pen behavior can't be judged without taking into account the paper!

[@PencopiaPictorial]

All the leftys I know turn their paper to the portrait position and write as if from top to bottom.

[@TokyoPenShop]

So true!

[@solasidojsp]

haha yes i do that , its so natural for us to do it

[@sunnymoondog]

That's what I do as a righty. No idea why I need I turn the page so much!

[@goldfinchui1432]

this is why i bought a reporters notepad for studying haha

[@luciusirving5926]

Don't forget the Gelocity, they dry real fast at a good price. Twice as cheap as the Sarasa here in Mexico, but when I'm rich, then I'll afford the Sarasa gel pens. By the way, the Acroball and the Easytouch are the same pen, but they sure glide on paper.

[@Gurlhmong]

Would recommend to zoom in closer to the notepad and ink.

[@carolinevaughan2202]

Im a lefty and reaaaaally want to try one of the pastel sarasa drys but I dont think im allowed to buy any more pens :(

[@jamielee7342]

Absolutely love the Energels and obsessed with the Jetstream. The 3 and the 4 and the pencil are great. I use .3 in really tight spaces. And usually switch between a .5 and .7 in my bag. But the 1. is like a happy go lucky doodley type. I’ve also tried the Dr Grip ones. My hands and wrists are sorts of messed up with pain so a thick comfy grip usually helps. I feel like a pen snob. Whenever I come across a new pen I immediately have to try it out and ask where it was found if it writes like butter and take all sorts of picture so I can compare pictures when I need to order them. Or I happen to come across that amazing miracle left handed pen I need to buy all the colors of that one pen. I hate scratchy pens. I love smooth buttery pens. I don’t hook my hand when I write and depending on how my wrists feel I may or may not turn my paper on assorted angles. I sometimes use a barrier sheet under my hand to keep my hand clean from smear if the pen is a slow drying one. 💕🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CutieRingoJoy]

My mum and I are left handed. I became left handed because as a kid I had issues learning how to write and my mum use her hand for guide

[@jn9475]

Teacher: Use your non-dominated hand. Me as a both-handed: 😐😐😐

[@mmitchell1680]

You mean ambidextrous?

[@World_of_Art2025]

Hi Kim! Great offer! Question: Are you going to release a video on the Surprise Stationery kit?

[@TokyoPenShop]

Yes, tomorrow!

[@World_of_Art2025]

Tokyo Pen Shop Awesome! I love spoilers 😊. That and I already bought mine 😁😉📖✒️

[@32a34a]

I'm a lefty and I do the hook or claw.

[@julieyoung2719]

So need left handed pens. Can't find any in New Zealand

[@charliemoorejr.]

I got the uni-ball signo 307 0.7mm this week and love it. Are these other pens ink waterproof ? I love waterproof ink.

[@travia6688]

Charlie Moore, Jr. The pentel energel permenant is, but it only comes in 2 tip sizes and 3 colours.

[@charliemoorejr.]

@@travia6688 thank you. I can't wait to get and try those pens out

[@saffronridlington-white7879]

Yeah I am left handed and I stated to not get ink smudges as much and I use right handed pens

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

I was born right handed, but my teacher said the right was the hand of the devil so I learn how to write with my left hand.

[@PC-zu6jm]

That’s so weird

[@sahra2338]

No it’s the other way round the left hand is the hand of the devil

[@sharkddududdudu1679]

There is study that shows that people who use their non dominant hand (in this case , you do) they are less intelligent

[@Ccc_b124]

I kid you not I went in a store looking for left handed scissors and the were 20 dollars while the right handed ones were 10. Like what extra am I paying for, you to care?

[@bernadettecarreon2423]

Im left handed
