Need info on Specer & Devon and Nancy Boy shaving creams ?!?

[CHSeifert]

Hey,

I have yet to try these 2 brands of shaving cream - what's your take on them and which are your favorite scents from them ?

Anywhere I can buy them in a Euro online store ?

How would you rate their quality up against these creams:

Castle Forbes
Penhaligon
TOBS
GFT
TF&H
AOS
Acqua Di Parma
Santa Maria Novella
DR Harris
Xpec

Thanks

NancyBoy is an inferior cream to even CF or TOBS

Nancy Boy Signature is a wonderful cream with a very fresh, grassy, clean scent. It's softer and creamier than TOBS or CF, which means it lathers easily. TOBS and CF are heavier and probably last longer, but their scents can sometimes be heavier (cologne). Nancy Boy is unique and should be tried at least once. I think TOBS Avocado shares similarities with NB, but it's just not as light and creamy.

Nancy Boy, while it lathers with a brush just fine, was originally formulated to work without a brush. It is different than most creams referenced on the forums for this reason.

I have used the signature scent and it left my face feeling quite nice - better than most. It took a little more product than I usually use (which is more than is usually recommended) to get a good lather in the hard water we have here.

Of your list I have only used TOBS, Truefitt & Hill, AoS, and D. R. Harris, and the only one close to NB is AoS, IMO.

I have not tried Spencer & Devon, but they are on my list. Alas, their location is within driving distance but they do not have a retail storefront.
