    [edited to add: thanks to the many of you who shared helpful and relevant suggestions and considerations. I've got a few cheaper option to try out and a handful of ideas for more LT investment options depending on how I get on with the cheap-o pens]

    Do we have #FountainPen people here who could help me choose a new pen?

    I've lost my Lamy Safari. I never especially liked it so don't want another.

    Lefty. Smallish hands prone to fatigue. Prefer to write posted so I don't lose the cap but hate backweight.

    Need a comfortable, easy, durable workhorse for notes or journalling that I can toss into a bag. Not ever going to have nice handwriting and not a pen enthusiast per se so don't care hugely about design etc.

    UK based. Rough budget £75-£125 or so
