A Boxing day experiment

Part of my Christmas goody bag of pressies was a secret Santa package containing some Nivea (groan) shower gel, aftershave balm, and a tin of sensitive skin shaving gel.

As an experiment I thought I would see how the gel performed using a brush and scuttle, I squirted two processed pea sized lumps into the scuttle and worked it up, it very quickly produced volumes of thick lather, I was impressed enough to go ahead and shave with it, so it was three passes with a newly honed 5/8 Case & Sons.

I was in all honesty very surprised on how the gel performed, a nice creamy lather with good body and lubrication, it was a very pleasant shave indeed, I would actually recommend this stuff as a standby, or travel option.

I've discovered the same thing with Kiehl's shaving cream. Was pleasantly surprised.
