Enjoy the bowl, looks sharp and makes a great latherNice!!!! Looks familiar. Oh, thanks for the bowl. Pictures coming up.
Is the Nivea a good slick soap? I love their balm, but I use The Fat because of its slickness and the way the lanolin leaves my skin. I’m always open to trying something new if the results are better than what I’m currently doing.Sunday Schick Shave, Sept 20th 2020- A Nivea shave day also, good products.
Razor: Schick i2 injector type with hydro magic- MFG 1954-57 A very good milder Schick injector, not as mild as some later models but gives a very DFS+.
Blade: Personna injector (6)- excellent blade in this razor, very sharp, good longevity & smooths out nicely as more shaves are applied to blade IMO.
Soap: Nivea sensitive cream- nice mild scented soap with good lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Noir 400 24mm synthetic- reminds me of a boar brush but with soft tips to paint lather, great brush.
Pre shave: Shower, brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Nivea refreshing aftershave + Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = great shave with my Schick injector i2 type + Personna blade.
Have some great shaves!
Hello @TexOkie Shaver, Nivea is not as slick as Mitchel's wool fat. Some people might like it because its easy to clean up afterwards off of face. Nivea will give good protection and I like to use it with combination of left over soap in my lather bowl(Tabac this morning) and the Nivea scent is a pleasant one. I enjoy Nivea cream soap and at one time that is all I used for months. There are better soaps possibly for slickness but not as a pleasant a mild scent.Is the Nivea a good slick soap?

I tried to find the soap on their website and all I found was cream in a tube.Hello @TexOkie Shaver, Nivea is not as slick as Mitchel's wool fat.
