I'd stick with regular Noodler's bought from Swisher--who has the
lowest price.  I've got a few bottles of the Swishmix stuff and don't
feel ripped off--I'd love it if I were a lefty--but I don't recommend
it unless you have a need for a quick dry ink.

I highly recommend Baystate Blue, but put it in a chinese pen or a
cheap parker or sheaffer,and not any of your jewelry.

If it did stain any of your jewelry, then all I got to say about it,
dude, is that ink is supposed to stain.  Go whine on FPN about it.
There are plenty of dumb***** there who will show you plenty of
sympathy.  You and Sam can cry on each others shoulders.
