Thread: Nanny's Silly Soap Company

Sharons soaps are among my favorites (nice slippery lather) + she's a nice lass, as they say in the good ol UK

I am guessing this - Shaving Soap - Nanny's Silly Soap Company - is the place?

Yeah that's Nanny's!

I use them, and posted about it before. They are very good soaps. I like her "Neroli"....Good stuff.

BTW, They do ship to the U.S.

Sharon will ship all over the place. I really like the Forest of Norway soap but the Tea Tree is great for summer shaving.

Oh man... I keep telling myself I don't need anymore soaps, creams, razors, strops... well ok everyone needs a couple back-up strops but whatever.

But anyway, I keep telling myself I need to scale down and learn to love what I have, but it's threads like these...

You know it reminds me of when I found out I was having a second child. I just didn't think my heart could grow any larger and feared my second wouldn't get the love of the first but well, my heart grew and I love the second as dearly as the first.

I think I am sick!

I know 100% how you feel. Every time I think that's it I have all the soap etc I'll ever need, someone recommends something and off we go again. Wife will kill me one day!

Nancy Boy is old slang for homosexual. I believe it's a San Francisco based company. You do the math.

Yeah but a gay guy calling another gay guy a nancy boy, really takes on a different meaning. With the store being in the middle of "gay town," the name was actually funny, and maybe even appropriate. Actually, once you take away the negativity behind any word it all becomes moot. Back in my day you could get knocked out for dropping the F-balm - nowadays no one cares.

Nancy Boy is only in my opinion a bad term if you are using it to run down some-one. YMMV.
