    This is totally an individual thing. One isn't better than the other.

    I've had both and prefer the fan over the bulb.

    I tried the peanut butter thing but it's too hard to get the peanut butter out of the brush and after my Husky got a whiff of it and made off with it and had her way with it well....

    It's unfortunate Obie has a Hollywood face. If he had a Broadway Face like me he would be closer to shaving nirvana no matter which implements he used.

    Spendur,
    Hollywood for me all the way. That's why either bulb or fan works.

    I've got a Bowery face, like on the lower east side. Maybe why I like the fan.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I have the Thater 26mm two band. It's a very nice brush. If you like to splay your lather go with the fan. If you prefer to paint go with the bulb.

    I prefer the bulb, but I have a radio face.

    Ah I sense a nose thumbing sense of elitism. But yet why shave if there is no point? And I am a fan of fans, fancy that.
