As I proceed with my reading of John Blakemore's book, I was wondering if anyone has tried this "Beers" developer he talks about.
Were these Ilford developers the equivalent of Kodak's Dektol and Selectol soft?

My memory is unclear, but I think that the soft-working developer was first. Reversing the order would risk contaminating the soft developer bath with high contrast developer due to carry-over during a prolonged session. It did seem to offer very delicate control.
Have I read that a single developer with a water bath can also be used, or is this confined to film?
