My tub of Nancy Boy shaving cream is almost empty, and I think this is one that I’ll replace. If you’ve not tried it, I highly recommend it, and they do see a travel size. My favorite is the Signature fragrance, which (oddly) the site does not describe, but is a mint and rosemary fragrance near as I can tell. Ingredients:
Distilled water, potassium stearate, sodium myristate, sodium stearate, glycerin, coconut oil, essential oil fragance, organic aloe leaf juice, avocado oil, allantoin, pistachio nut oil, extracts of yarrow, burdock, calendula, chamomile, bitter orange, sea kelp, elder flower, comfrey and cucumber, methyl gluceth-20, polyquaternium-7, sorbic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, vitamin E.
I got the usual excellent lather with my New Forest brush and set to work with the Gillette NEW. I got one odd flat-face nick (not a bad one, but still….), and I see that this razor has the blade much flatter than, say, the Dorco PL602 or the RazoRock Baby Smooth, both of which never nick. I imagine that a blade mounted fairly flat will require more attention to angle than with a well-curved blade.
Three passes delivered a fine result, and a splash of TOBS Shave Shop finished the job.
Update: It turns out that Nancy Boy describes all their fragrances on a separate page. Here’s the Signature fragrance:
French lavender is blended with Washington peppermint and Tunisian rosemary.
