Hello,
Normally I buzz my head without a guard on the clippers but every once in a while I like to shave it. Last night I shaved it with my Griffin Carbo Magnetic, I only did a one pass shave WTG and had my girlfriend do the back of my head for me. I used Nivea Creme for the first time on my head and I was very nice. Wasn't oily and didn't irritate my skin at all. If you havent used it before check it out. It has a lemon fresh smell and is extremely thick.
Have a good day,
Chris
Hello, Chris,
Nivea cream is good stuff and worth the money. Also it is readily available at most pharmacies.

This is far from the first time I have heard great things about this stuff. If they only sold it where I shop. May have to order.

Nivea makes good shaving cream as well. Paired with some triple milled soap it's always been a sure bet for me.
I've been using it literally all my life. Have the Anit-irritation ASB, Moisturising ASB, and the cream. I think my GF bought the 'soft', pretyy much the same stuff as I can tell. And I think here you still get it in the tin can. Although the 'soft' came in the tub. It's almost done so I'll probably use the tub as a shaving soap/cream container, perfect size.
Nivea makes great stuff period, although they slightly watered down some of the ASB's. Shame.
How are you guys using it, as a face moisturizer or as an aftershave substitute?
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that if my wife found me smearing Nivea on my face for any reason I would likely be forced to hand over my Manship card amidst fits of laughter.... :roflmao
....perhaps I'll stick with my regular routine!
Well, Mr. Yadgar, you haven't steered me wrong yet. I picked some up and if what it did to my elbows is any indication of its performance, I cannot say enough.
When i use it, it's usually as part of my quick shave routine. My barber does it in conjunction with a hot towel too. If i need a quick shave i basically massage a big dollop into my face, then face lather with hot water and a cream, then go at it. It helps glide, and makes things a bit slicker as well, this is if you haven't done all the prep. Haven't tried it in lather but this is a good idea and i must, say with my full shave and prep routine. It has lanolin in it so its should be a good match for a lather additive.Quote:
