Results: I don't get around to using this Wapi all that often, but when I do, she certainly makes for a marvelous treat and she never disappointshttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. Furthermore, I don't know why, but I have seldom seen them featured in forums or even talked about in discussions...and that is a shame. I believe them to be amongst some of the most amazing shavers, especially given the fact that they were originally designed as surgical instruments. Equally amazing are the NancyBoy creme and Cella soaps. The NB was one of the first shave cremes I came across in my wetshaving journey and immediately fell in love withhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. If one gets past the "name", which may be a marketing faux pas in most wetshaving circles, the NB will surely give most big name cremes a run for their money. It is a fantastic creme and coupled with the Cella, she produced an amazingly rich and slick überlather. Needless to say, the pre-shave prep was absolutely an enjoyable and, may I dare say, (almost) orgasmic experience:y. The 24 hr growth was wiped clean in 3 effortless passes, each systematically better than the last, until I was left with such a clean and smooth face that would make any baby jealous :tu. |
