Nancy Boy and leads to an unexpected problem

[xtalicious]

I used Nancy Boy for the first time on Saturday morning. I was in a bit of a rush to get out the door, and decided to use it in the manufacturer's prescribed manner, that is, brushless.

The shave was slick and quick, felt excellent, and left me feeling great through the day.

The problem I now face is that I have a new brush from Penchetta that I absolutely love, but my newest favourite shaving product works very well when used without a brush.

It works great with a brush too. You have no worries.

brush is fine too just make sure to wash it out though

Nancy Boy's shave is super slick, no doubt about it... So slick that you have to be careful to get it completely off your hands if you're shaving brushless (edit: lest you drop your razor).

The brush takes care of that, particularly for multiple passes, with the same quality shave. No worries.

Using the brush probably also allows you to get more passes from the same amount of product.

Thanks for the tips. I'm looking forward to see how Nancy Boy lathers with a brush.

Don't use a lot of water.

You may find that these sort of creams work well once in a while, but used daily are less impressive. I do. Perhaps the skin can deal with the lack of cushion, but not consistently.

I use a brush. It is amazing stuff.

How would the slickness of it compare to let's say Cremo Creme (which is pretty slick)?

I haven't used Cremo.

I used a brush with Nancy Boy this morning, and it was great. It provided a great shave. The whipped lather was thick and showed some very strong peaks. My only concern was this: towards the end of the shave (3-pass + touch-up), the lather thinned somewhat. I didn't use very much water, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

SuperLather it (with a glycerin based soap)

NO!!! It's so amazing, it doesn't need or deserve a "superlather."

I find Nancy Boy to be an order of magnitude better than Cremo. It's that good.

I always "rebuild" my lather between passes by adding a bit more product to the brush. If I try to go all passes with what I build prior to the first pass, it always gets a bit thin for my preferences, regardless of which cream I'm using.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I usually use soaps and load enough at the beginning to last the full shave.
