How to use a brush for the first time

1, when using a new pen, you can gently twist your hair with your hands first, and then soak it in water. It should be said that you can't soak it in a teacup or a bottle. If there is only a teacup or bottle, it is best to find a clip to hold the pen container beside the cup, and don't let the pen stand at the bottom of the cup. Whether immersed in water or not, bristles should not be bent (except when writing). If the hair of a new pen bends when it is soaked for the first time, it will be useless and even the best pen will be finished.

2. It is best to soak in warm water in winter, but don't burn it. Hot water is easy to burn the pen. Generally, it can be soaked in water 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

3. Wipe the bristles with water after soaking, which can be wiped with soft cloth, toilet paper or raw rice paper. Be sure to brush along your hair. Don't rub it hard, and don't press the brush on the table to wipe it clean. It doesn't matter if there is a little water left in the new pen.

4. After the brush water is generally wiped clean, it begins to dip in ink. Be sure to dip all the brushes into the ink, not just half or more. Although we only use most of the bristles when writing, but not all of them, we must dip all the ink in the first time, so that the bristles can be connected as a whole, and we should exert force at the end of the pen when writing.

Every time you use the brush, be sure to rinse the bristles clean. Although it can't be completely cleaned, at least there can't be too much residual ink. The cleaner the better, because shrinking ink hurts the pen.
