Being the 5th of 4 gannetts, I feel lucky to have received the scrapings from the very bottom of Nannys bowl. It was a small sample, not as much as I would nomally use, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
I have had issues perfecting lathering with Nanny's citrus zinger but could not use my newly foun technique due to sample size.
I moistened my fizzog with a hot flannel, rubbed in some Tea tree hair conditioner and then, using damp hands, rubbed most of the sample on my face. Turning the baggie inside out like a desperate junkie, I used the brush (NF2201) to mop up the remainder and proceded to lather up.
The smell reminded me of being in a woodwork class, quite subtle but distinctly "freshy sawn timber" in aroma. Had no problems whipping up a lather sufficient for 3-4 passes even from such a small sample.
It was "glidy" and provided good protection as usual with Nanny's soaps. My Merkur Futur (set on 1.5, I know, It have only used it once before) and new Gillette Bleu (courtesy of Frenchblade) made a very decent job.
All in all a very pleasent shave and the Sandalwood scent is nicely subtle and manly. Now, where did I put my woodworking tools?
