The shaving cream I used was left on my balcony when delivered and had frozen solid. The scent was wonderful, but I had to use twice as much as normal for lather. Nancy Boy has shipped replacements, and I will have them in hand tomorrow.

:lol: It's a very warm weather fragrance. I'm very curious as to what other think about it - I'll keep a look out in the cologne forum for a review. I'll try it again in the spring before I make any decisions to keep or sell it.

Hey Shermdog!

I do like the CADE balm alot. I have about 15 samples of the stuff thanks to a generous sales girl at the local mall here in Plano. I dont use Balm very often since I tend to have super oily skin and the balms typically make me feel even greasier. However, Cade seems to sink in nicely on me. Only wish it had a little SPF!

Work has been way too crazy to think I have all my shopping done. I did go to the Boulders in Arizona this weekend to play some golf! :wink:

I am really quite impressed with the Nancy Boy products. While this is a first-use, I have found the shampoo and conditioner, bodywash, and shaving cream to be really exceptional, standout products. The other products were very good and that is not faint praise either.

Hi all,

19 degrees here in Pittsburgh this morning. Compared to Scotto's -5 well heck, it's a heat wave.

Merkur Futur w/ Feather blade
Bic Metal for upper lip and touch-up
Simpsons PJ1 (best) brush
Trumper's Sandalwood cream
Trumper's Sandalwood edt (sample)
Trumper's Coral skin food

This was my 1st shave with the Futur. Thought I'd better use "old reliable- a Trumper's cream" for this shave.

Folks, I may have found the perfect razor for me. Absolutely a perfect shave with just 2 passes and some touch-up. I will post a better review after some more shaves.

Also, I am really beginning to love the Simpson's PJ1 brush. This brush just does a wonderful job for me and I find that it works just as well for creams as it does for soaps.

Have a great day.

The Futur just "clicked" for me also, starting day one. Great razor despite its design peculiarities.

[Rik]

Rik, how was the new shave brush?
Very nice! I'm still getting used to these smaller brushes. It's the same size as the Vulfix 374 but has the stiffness of the EJ/C&E best badger. Created a copious amount of lather and fits well in my big mitts.

Same shave as yesterday with the change of cologne! I really wanted to verify that the Nancy Boy shave cream wasn't just a one trick pony.. It was everybit as good as yesterday! By the way, the light facial scrub seems to be a really excellent alternative to my regular Crabtree and Evelyn moisturizing soap in sandalwood, Nomad, or Sienna..
