I've never understood why some people run it under water AFTER adding the toothpaste

To me it's always made more sense to wet the brush BEFORE adding the toothpaste so you're not wasting toothpaste.

You just need a pea sized dot. Not cover the whole brushhead

It’s just a splash, to help with my dry mouth.

Also I like to use warm water on the brush before toothpaste. Helps soften the bristles on the brush

Who says you can't still use that lil' blob?

You do both, wet the brush to let the toothpaste stick to it better, and wet the toothpaste so it lathers easily and doesn't stick completely to your teeth as soon as your start.

I always depress the toothpaste into the brush with my tongue first before putting it under the faucet

I press it in with my tongue too - but that's all it needs to not stick to the first tooth so no need to run it under the water for me. Plenty already on the toothbrush from before putting the toothpaste one.

You lick the toothpaste before washing it?

Licking is a shear force, I'm talking about a compressive force
