Brush setup
Hey guys I need some help!
I just bought a W&N Series 7 No. 2 and boy am I excited. Sad thing is, I can't get the damn thing to make a point worth crap. Is there any way to setup the brush/prepare it to be used so that it makes a consistent point like my Raphael No.2? I've read that over the years W&N has gotten a little slack on their craftsmanship and that finding a good one may take a few tries. What do you think? How can I fix it or did I just get one of the botched brushes?
Thanks!

My girlfriend who is the most wonderful person in my life reassured me that everyone has a preference - some people ink with a brush; some people ink with nibs. I know there are a lot of artists who ink purely with a brush but I want to get everyone's opinion on this one. I am confident in my abilities as a brush inker
