Another review of a
shaving soap by the Nanny’s Silly Soap Company. This time I have tried a sample
of their Lime softer formula shaving soap. Now I’m not sure if their previous
Lime soap was a hard soap but this softer formula was the same consistency as
the other soaps I have tried from Nanny’s, that is to say somewhere between a
soap and a cream, which I love!
The scent from this
soap was, unsurprisingly, Lime but not a harsh make your nose sting scent but a
sweet scent of Lime. It still had the fresh clean scent you expect from a
citrus based soap. It fared well in the “other half test” again my wife proving
she likes the citrus scent over a woody scent.
Unlike the other two
soaps I have reviewed from the Nanny’s Silly Soap Company this one was less
easy to lather needing quite a bit more hydration than the other two to get the
luxurious lather I’m used to. Not sure if this is due to the “soft formula”
preparation. The same almond sized amount still produced a sufficient amount of
lather for three passes.
The shave this soap
gave was up to the high standard set by the previous two soaps. The lather gave
good cushioning and again left my face feeling hydrated. The only thing that
did surprise me about the soap was the reduced amount of slickness left on my
face between passes. Normally after the first and second passes, when I wet my
face I am left with slickness but not with this soap. Saying that I did not
have any skin irritation or feel any excess friction on the blade during my
shave.
Overall again this is
another very good soap from Nanny’s Silly Soap Company with a fresh clean
scent. Like the Citrus Zinger soap I think it is a summer soap given its scent
but you could do a lot worse during the winter months!
