I purchased Nivea’s sensitive skin shaving cream yesterday and had my first shave today.
Now i’m not have a shaving cream user and stick to my soap, but I remember my dad using a Nivea shaving cream many moons ago, and i still recall its pleasent scent. So part of picking it this time was Nostalgia and the other part was curiosity.
I don’t use shaving bowls, so i put a tiny bit of the cream of my brush after the usual brush soaking and face washing routine.
The lather was slick, but not as thick as the one i get from my Proraso green. By the time i was on my third pass, i was caught between using some more cream or just using what i had..and i chose the later.
The shave was fine, no nicks or cuts. The scent was pleasant and exactly like what i remember when my father used it, although it was less strong, and faded away quick which was slightly dissapointing.
My skin afterwards felt slightly smoother than it does after using a soap though, which was nice.
I topped it off with using Nivea’s Deep Clean and Comfort aftershave, but ill review that under the aftershave section.
A good shave. Nothing earth shattering though. I am a Proraso loyalist so i find it very difficult to rate others as good as our fine Italian friend.
