I don't care for a fan, but the only way you will know is if you try one.
Bulbs for me too. I prefer the looks and performance. All my boars (maybe all boars in general), seem to be fan, which I'm okay with.I have both but prefer the feel and performance of bulbs.
I am the opposite and prefer fans by a large margin. Definitely a YMMV thing with no right answer.I don't care for a fan, but the only way you will know is if you try one.
Nope. IME fans generally feel larger and splay easier for same size vs bulb. As a result seem to have less scrub or face feel. They're great but more of a bulb fan than a fan fan.My brushes are bulb shaped knots. I just wondered what fan shaped knots were like and if any advantage.
Stuck in the middle with a hybrid...Bulbs to the left, Fans to the right.
If the knot is not too big than Fans are considered better suited to face lathering but the differences might be subtle. The reasoning being that a fan is distributed more evenly on the face. Bulbs to the left, Fans to the right.
