haha! ”把这些毛笔都扔掉啦！“ You REALLY hate them, don't you? Even though your prices are a few years old, I still thank you for all of your hard work! =)

@TheKMCollins Thank you.

I never like those brushes in this set. My vendors call them "garbage brushes." However, for the price of the this box set, how can we ask more?

ALso, another thought, it would be great if we could see you use a simple cheap brush and a rather more suitable brush.

For me, most of my brushes cost only a dollar each.

I have two that cost 40 dollars. in my hands..... as a raw beginner, probably just as a cheaper brush.

Could you do some examples????

That would be very beneficial. TO see the way it works/bends and the final quality.

You mention ink also.I used some very poor ink but it was grainy but the effect was pleasing! :)

When my high school teacher threw away a bad brush to me, it was my best one! I started with average quality tools... Sometimes if I practice absent-mindedly with high quality tools, the result is less satisfied with average tools but with mind focus.

I am still preparing a series of vids for Forbidden City brush sets I got over the last 3 years with writing samples. Thx.

You may look it up from his e-Bay store and send inquiry to Robert's email address (He has no time for YouTube.) So both of you can save charges.

Another lady customer of Robert, Xiaobai, bought more than two of us. I will persuade her to share her collections later...

I have been lucky to meet Robert "in my neighberhood 5 minutes away"... I bought my first brush hanger 28 years after I started practicing calligraphy... A fair beginner's set, IMHO, should be around $30 (I have a video for this combination) according to Robert's price index.

:) Thanks. I will take a look at your work soon.
