WHAT IS IT, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
Nanny's Silly Soap - Moroccan Sands
APPLICATION METHOD AND DESCRIPTION:
Load the brush (damp synthetic) for about 15-20 seconds, whip lather in a bowl, adding water until ideal consistency is achieved. Apply to ones boat race in circular fashion, paint until even. Shave. Admire.
SCENT:
Now, this is where I can only quote Janice from Friends - Oh! My! God!
I LOVE this scent. It reminds me of being in a Wiccan ritual, of heady piles of incense burning upon smouldering charcoal, filling the room with mystic smoke, designed to invoke the Gods and Goddesses.
LATHERABILITY:
I have yet to find a soap that presents a problem in lathering. Some take a little longer to build a quality lather, others (like this) spring up a lather almost as soon as you introduce a damp brush to them. A 15-20 second load produces plenty of lather for a full three pass shave plus touch up. No problems here.
PERFORMANCE:
During the shave, I felt the lather protected well, cushioned against the blade and importantly, enabled a close, safe shave. I felt no real problems occur during the shave, bar the first time I used, the lather didn't last very long on my face if applied a little thin. No real problem, just ensure it is applied properly et voila. It also has glide for days, very slick indeed.
POST SHAVE:
As I am sure you will have noticed if you've read any of my other reviews, that this is one of the most important aspects I consider when using and reviewing a soap. Most vegetable based soaps leave me a little underwhelmed, not so with Nanny's. I felt that this is up there with most tallow/lanolin containing soaps. Having a scout through the ingredients list, I am left in no doubt that this is down to the shea butter content. Top marks Nanny for this!
CONCLUSIVE COMMENTS:
Well, there is something special contained within the red anodised tin, something very special indeed. The scent is heavenly, the performance superb, what more could you ask for? I would definitely purchase again, and indeed will definitely try some of the other scents in the Signature range. Worth every penny.
@SoapAlchemist - this is one divine soap!
