In these torrid times of text messaging and e-mail, we tend to forget just how powerful the written word can be. Truly gifted authors have the power to encapsulate the very essence of the human experience in a single sentence, and they can send the reader soaring to heights of ecstasy or into the very depths of despair. From the immortal lines of Shakespeare (who could ever forget " ... a rose by any other name would smell as sweet") to the unforgettable characters of Dickens, the written word has provided us with moments of unequalled beauty and figures that still dominate the collective unconscious of man as a whole. Yet I would defy any author to truly capture the sublime brilliance of the Nancy Boy shave cream.
Flowery dialogue and pretentious literary quotations aside, I had my first shave with Nancy Boy today and I am hugely impressed.
The scent, latherability and the unsurpassed closeness of the shave, everything about this excellent cream astound me. I would never turn my back on my beloved Harris Almond, but after one day with NB this is my go to cream.
Cautious because of reports that this cream did not lather very well, I may have overloaded my brush somewhat, but I found myself with a veritable mountain of lather. Not the airy lather of the more traditional creams, but a thick, cushioning lather that allowed my HD to glide over my face like it was on ice. I was even brave enough to go against the grain and there wasn't even a hint of razor burn. Without the South-North pass I would have had one of my closest shaves yet, with it I was BBS without the associated redness and burning. I may even go back to my Futur, and load it with a Feather, that is how confident I am with this cream.
Also the Nancy Boy cream is so lubricious and protective that it seemed to compensate for the various flaws in my technique, I still don't have a consistent angle but this cream allowed me to overcome that particular problem with ease.
As for the scent, it is erotic. I can see my next church confession now:
" Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it has been x number of days since my last confession and in that time I have had immoral thoughts about a tub of shaving cream."
I wonder how many Hail Mary's that will cost me.
I also tried the NB facial cleanser and A/S.
As far as the facewash goes, my face takes a while to adjust to new cleansers, but this morning I noticed that my skin tone was somewhat more even. As for the A/S I might require a little more than the pea sized amount suggested on the bottle, but I found it to be very cooling and soothing and once again the scent was amazing.
I hope you will forgive my hyperbole, but I am overwhelmingly impressed by these products and all this is backed up by incredible customer service.
If you don't like Nancy Boy then you are a Godless heathen who stands against everything that decent people hold dear ( maybe that's a bit OTT but these are great products)
Warm regards,
Alex
