It's all in what you like. Any knot from Paladin is going to be great. If you prefer a fan, get a fan. I don't believe he does too many fans though, so it'll be trickier to find. But I'm coming to understand that most of his current knots are made actually to be somewhat between a bulb and a fan.@Spider you are King of Paladins you have any thoughts on fan vs bulb knots from them?
My preference will always be bulbs. I never liked the way fan brushes looked.
