In addition to some Myrsol samples I also received a small sample of shaving cream from a local company - Nancy Boy. They even have a retail store here in San Francisco that I must admit I've never visited..but..after trying out this sample I just might. Anyway, here's the sample I received: It smelled really great - a clean, fresh scent that really stood out to me - and had a rather traditional cream consistency. Scooped out a pea-sized glob of the cream and lathered it up. It lathered up pretty easily in the scuttle: ..but I found that it was even easier to just face lather with it. It produced a nice, thick lather that provided a nice glide and protection during my shave. The scent lingered during my shave and I truly enjoyed it. All in all a very pleasant first experience that won't be my last. You can btw join "Club Nancy" on their site and immediately get a 15% discount.
And it all came from that tiny glob on my finger. I did two passes and would have had lather for two more
Used my SOC boar today with my Nancy Boy cream and wow - it exploded into thick lather. This is truly a great cream and I still love the scent.
Nancy Boy was one of the first shaving creams I ever tried after getting into wetshaving. It's great stuff.
Nancy Boy shaving cream used to get mentioned a lot, always with heaping praise, a few years back. Sometimes it pays to look at the older reviews on the forums, if only to see what worked then. Excellent review, Darkbulb! Many thanks for that.
I've heard it's a great performer and the photos of the lather look excellent. However I own so many creams & soaps and want to try so many others, that I'll probably never get around to that one. Enjoy!!
