Matt,
Save your money with the stop bath, just dump the developer right down the
sink and pour the fixer right in, wham, bam thank you m'ma!

Use rapid fix, Ilford or Kodak works fine. Have it already measured out and
with the lights out take the lid off, pour the developer out immediately and
the fixer right in as quickly.

Lid on and shake the hell out of the can for a minute and with Rapid fix,
fixing is over within two minutes. See how easy that was. ;-)
