Gents --
I had my first shave with Nancy Boy shaving cream today.
I guess I'm going to have to join the choir in support of this product. I got a wonderfully smooth shave, without irritation. Just exceptional.
It's hard to tell after just one shave, but it seems to me that it has more cushion that the Trumpers or Taylors products I've tried. I was a little apprehensive about the peppermint (because I have insanely sensitive skin), but I had no problems. In fact, the peppermint gives it kind of a pleasant cooling feeling. I really think this could be the best shave cream I've tried.
I used the Nancy Boy with my favorite set up -
1) 1940s Gillette Aristocrat
2) Brand new Swedish Gillette blade
3) Shower before shaving (used Nancy Boy soap - also very nice)
4) Hot-water soak my beard at the sink
5) Lather up the Nancy Boy with my silvertip brush (someone gave it to me years ago, and I don't know the brand, but it's a great item).
Man - oh man. I really get what all the fuss is about. Nancy Boy shave cream just does a fabulous job. It's clearly going to join my rotation, and I may retire some of my English creams in favor of it.
Just great stuff. Everyone who is into wet shaving should try Nancy Boy.
