A gift from my wife. A La Grande or 146 with an oblique broad nib.

Beyond fast drying ink consider a finer nib. Less ink on the page dries more quickly. Also, paper makes a big difference. Midori paper absorbs ink well while still providing some sheen, while paper like Tomoe River is coated such that the ink will sit on the paper for a long time making smearing more likely.
