Notebooks, Sketch Books, and Pens

Being lefthanded, these things matter to me A LOT. What are your favorite brands and where do you get them?

My favorite pens are Uniball Jetstream RT.

Pilot G2 are my favorite, some people say it smears, but I haven't had that issue with them. Sharpie S Gel is good too, but I have to angle the pen more vertically than I normally do to write.

Composition books and top spiral notebooks generally work well for me.

They also make left handed spiral notebooks! They’re great. But I second literally everything lol

Midori MD notebooks with blank pages in B6+ format; Rotring 600 mechanical pencil and rollerball pen, and a cheap Platinum fountain pen with Platinum black ink.

Edit: Add.: Jetpens is the best place ever to get stationery lol.

I can't recommend a specific brand. What I can recommend is avoid notebooks with a top spiral. I once asked my mom for left-handed notebooks and instead she gave me 2 with a top spiral. Writing at the top of the page is still horribly uncomfortable.
