Comparison of Pilot Blue and Noodler's Bad Black Mocassin

These two inks are great daily writers. They are fast drying so you can write continuously and flip the page without smearing. They are mostly permanent, with only some color washing away in a spill or soak. Great basic blue and black inks that flow well. The Pilot is a bit better behaved as it does not bleed or feather. The Noodlers needs an extra fine nib to keep it under control for feathering and bleeding. If you have nice paper with a smooth surface, BBM will work perfectly. If you have cheap paper, consider the Pilot Blue or even go to original Noodler's Black.
