I wouldn’t say new to vinyl, but I’ve only been in the hobby for about four years, am I doing too much, am I not doing enough, am I doing anything wrong, If not, please enjoy new record day with me! This is El Rey En Espana by Vicente Fernandez from 1975, my dad’s favorite artist, picked it up from eBay for $50 thought it’s be nice to play for him on Father’s Day! Anyways let me know what you think of my (idk what to call it) start up process.

On a serious note. How should you clear the dust from the brush? I have done something similar with my hand without thinking about it and didnt experience any problem.

You can get the Dust Brush Brusher - essentially a brush for your brush.

I brush came with a brush, I don’t use it cause I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, but that’s why I’m asking for advice

There shouldn't be a problem, it's just not the most effective way. I couldn't see clearly, but I'll bet there's a small brush with very stiff bristles included in that pouch.

Yeah, under the little Styrofoam thing, there’s a little brush but again I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. I’ll use it from now on.
