I assume you mean "break in" reeds. Breaking them is frustratingly easy.
All I do is soak mine in water for about 15 minutes, then lay them on a flat piece of glass and run my thumb along the vamp to squeeze out the excess water. Then I let them dry for a while, write a number on the backside with a Sharpie, then put them away.
I know next to nothing about trimming with a reed knife or using reed rush. So the above is all I do for break-in. And that's only when I'm not busy or lazy. I'm super guilty of just taking a new reed out of a box, playing it for 10 seconds and saying "that's good enough" right before curtain time.
