Thread: Question regarding brush shape

Welcome aboard,

Either one of those would do fine. I have several of both styles. I like the bulb shape to work pucks of soap & most often use the fan type to work cream in a bowl,,,

But that is just my preference, as both will work great with pucks or cream.

You can't go wrong with either choice.

Hey, thanks for your answer!

Your welcome,,,,,,,,,,,

The shape of the knot is a person preference, something only you can learn from experience. I also have several brushes with each knot, and like them about the same. You can get a larger sized knot for less money with the bulb, so you might want to start with that one. Thäter are excellent brushes.

I have to agree with the previous posters, knot shape is a personal preference. Either bulb or fan work well. Personally I have a slight preference for fan shape. I like to face lather using mostly soaps.

it's one of those things you need to try and see which you prefer which means you have to buy both.

I have both and prefer the bulb. I think with the bulb you can do more of a precision lathering job as opposed to the fan which is the opposite though I think you can build more lather easier with the fan.

I used to think that the fan shape was the only one that made sense. Then I ended up winning a bulb shaped brush at a meet-up and and after using it I came to realize that, in my opinion, the shape really made little to no difference.

always wanted to try a fan shape because i feel i have to mash my bulb shaped one on my face when face lathering. someday i'll get one just to see.

In Really a fan will fan out more as you face lather

Get the bulb. That one. The bulb!
