Nivea, Brut, Saxon or ??

Interested to see what are some of the favorites

Nivea Sensitive and Cooling After Shave Balms, both work quite well and are good drugstore values.

cant beat nivea. its cheap, great and avaliable everywhere

nivea is great for the price and availability. The sensitive formula to me is the poor man's Proraso liquid cream.

The Gillette & Afta balms arent bad.

I like the gillete oriental spice slpash.

Av classic blue goes without saying.

And brut holds its own, and leaves the skin exceptionally soft and smooth.

The nivea alcohol free balm is something i use every so often, as my skin is oily, i typically don't need it.

Point is, when its that cheap, give them all a shot, they last forever. Like for the price of a dr harris or tobs as, you can get most of whats on the shelf.

+1 on Nivea. I never tried the cool one but sensitive would be the alternative if I couldn't get Proraso anymore!

 

[FlatFork]

Afta and saxon aren't bad

 

[The National Razor]

I'm not much of a balm guy but I do like Nivea Sensative

 

[sanuginz]

Nivea Sensitive and Neutrogena Triple Razor Defense SPF.
However, I would never use them again.

 

[Mr. Igg]

I like, and use regularly, several drugstore brands.

Nivea, as everyone else has noted, is a winner. I like the Replenishing slightly more than the Sensitive, but both are very good.

I just tried Brut and RSC the past two weeks, based on the reviews for Brut and the RSC shave cream performance; my skin was loving both.

I tried the Nivea cooling the other day and not much cooling to me but I do use
Osage Rub. Gonna have to get some menthol crystals.
Mad scientist lab kinda stuff.

I like the real shaving company moisturizing after shave balm that I get from Rite Aide, 5 bucks for a big tube.

Its nice.

 

[strat1117]

I've been using the green Gillette Gel for over 25 years, and it has never lost a spot in the lineup, even after I brought in a slew of expensive free agents.

 

[Leche]

I like the real shaving company moisturizing after shave balm that I get from Rite Aide, 5 bucks for a big tube.

Its nice.

It made me forget about Nivea. Hands down great product.

 

[kzoo1]

Nivea Extra Cooling for me...

 

[Obelit]

Gentlemen,

I must agree with many of you about Nivea. I have several ceramic bottles of in my stash. The other drugstore shave balms don't interest me, however, but as for Nivea, you can't beat the overall quality and price.

Regards,

Obelit

i don't see it on the CVS website any more but CVS makes an aftershave balm that works well, smells nice and is pretty cheap. it comes in a bottle like this.

nivea is always a good choice. i like the brut balm as well. there's also the burt's bees stuff if you want something natural.

 

[Maestro9]

Neutrogena Triple Protect Face Lotion for a soothing balm, Afta for a bit of alcohol kick and the ol "sting n slap" lol (cools nicely, also smells excellent with an aquatic scent) Depends on which you prefer.

Apart from drug store balms, I can't resist to put my two cents in and say Baxter of California is beyond good. I'm completely hooked on it. If you can ever find yourself a sample, look out Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore...

I use balm in the winter.
brut & Nivea
