I never cut my fans off. It became a big fad during the 50's and 60's to trim the fans after bloom season and there are still older people who ask me 'when is the best time to trim the fans?' and swear by the practice. I let nature take its course and only pull spent outer leaves off. The ones that die over the winter get pulled off early spring when new little leaves are beginning to sprout.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
