New paint brush came stiff
I purchased a round 1 brush and it appears to be stiff. Is this the way it's supposed to be or am I supposed to do something to the brush to soften it up?
It only appears good for scratching paint off.
I dipped it in mineral spirits but that didn't do anything and i tried searching the web but didn't find any info.

Yes. Brushes are manufactured with the bristles dipped in a water soluble gum to hold the shape firmly until sold. Normally a swish in some water and a towel dry brings the brush back to normal.
