Now and again, I pop into Superdrug, to see if they'd restocked the wonderful aftershave splashes 'Forest Fresh' and 'Sierran Breeze' and I'd see a bottle of Nivea shaving cream, with a weed leaf on the bottle and dismiss it's credibility as a product down to the very leaf! It wouldn't be a serious shaving cream with a weed leaf, but curiousity got the better of me and I bought the product.
First observations - there's a weed leaf on the bottle. I've said that right? Ok, move on to the second observation - 200ml for £2.24 seems good value for money.
It has a pump, so I squirted a few dollops into my bowl and built a lather, then transferred it to my face. It's not the thickest lather, but a very slick one, that provided good protection with good residual slickness at the end of the shave, and even with my incredibly sensitive shave, I had no irritation at any time in the shave and my face felt great at the end of the shave as well. It has a mild scent, inoffensive scent that washes off the skin at the end of the shave reasonably well.
For a first outing, I am incredibly impressed with the Nivea Sensitive Pro shaving cream, I will give it a few more outings before making a more detailed appreciation, but it's a good start nonetheless.
A really nice shave with the London Bridge blade in the New, it's a mild razor so even with a sharp blade, I was able to get 3 passes which were very comfortable.
Have a good Friday gents.
