    I was testing 11 new ink samples last week and I noticed that BSB spread like an oil slick when I dipped the nib in water to clean it. Have not seen that from any other ink(so far).

    I have a blue Pilot Plumix pen (very cheap) and when the cartridge ran out, I refilled it by syringe with some sample BayState Blue. (Out of curiosity). I thought I didn't like the color so much, but when I write a grocery list of my To Do list, it has a better look with the BSB. It also looks good inside the blue barrel, and writes nicely with the Plumix nib.

    I am aware of the concerns posted and I think it was likely gleaned off Richard's website or from Peter Laywine. I love the colour of this ink though and it is a top 5 favourite colour. I like its bullet proof qualities and bleach and.water has helped me clean the demonstrator TWSBI 540 I use along with a Serwex pen and.this ink. I think it.would work well in my Dilli and a few other less expensive pens!

    Anyone.who has not tried Baystate.Blue.or Plains.of Abraham has to try this stuff.....Noodlers makes great bullet proof serious ink!
