I'm new to straight razor shaving (3 months) and have been using Geo F Trumpers and Taylor of Old Bond St. shaving creams and soaps. After each shave my cheeks would be red and they would burn. Bad shaving technique, right? That's what I thought but 2 weeks ago I started to use Nancy Boy-Replenishing shaving cream. No more redness or burning. This stuff is great! It's easy to lather up (I face lather), gives a close shave, doesn't dry out my face and smells ok. It smells like Cucumber with a hint of lemon. I know what you are thinking. Cucumber, I don't want to smell like a salad !! I thought the same thing but the women at work love it. Anybody else use this stuff?
