Soap - Nanny's Silly Soap Traditional Moroccan Sands

I've been using some of the best soaps and creams available recently, so the bar has been set pretty high. This is a tallow first for Nanny's Silly Soap and Sharon @SoapAlchemist has not only vaulted over the bar, but straight out of the stadium!
We're very lucky to have the calibre of soap makers in the UK that we do, and this little red tin can stand proudly beside the giants of the shaving soap industry.
It's got all I look for in a soap, and for me the all-important post-shave feel, which is just fantastic!

Mmmm.... smell like a god. This is going to be my set up for the week.

I decided I had too many soap/creams, so I numbered them randomly 1-16 and am giving them a week each to justify their keep. It's not going great - everything is staying so far. Bugger!
 
from saturday

shavecraft 101/oss handle
astra sp
tobs badger brush
proraso green
tobs sandlewood as gel

still not convinced about the 101. i did have a lot to get rid of to be fair, but the open comb side doesn't seem to work like a "proper" open comb. i had to losen the handle to get rid of some clogging under the blade. shave was acceptable, its quite mild and so probably best for a more regular shave than the "once a week" that it was subjected to.
