...our lead character stage left. Nivea for Men Aftershave Balm is an absolute joy, and a definitive must in my toiletry shopping. I've tried many substitutes over the years, all with varying degrees of success, but this is far and away the best
It comes in two different types, normal and sensitive, the latter of which is going to be my focus here. So what is this great product? Well, quite simply it's a balm that you slap on your face after shaving. ... ...smell or perfume - what Nivea describe as "fragrance neutral." This is a major plus point for me, as it means I don't end up smelling like talcum powder or some really harsh cream throughout the day. I normally spray a bit of eau de toilette on afterwards, and I only need a bit as there is no smell to mask
The balm sinks into your face really quickly. After a quick slap on and a couple of seconds of rubbing it around your face, you'll barely know ...

...led to me plucking the Nivea product from the shelves. Previously my skin and moisturisers have just not got on well, always leading to blotchy greasiness.
The sensitive balm was a revelation though. Alcohol free, camomile and vitamin enriched, and with a light, pleasant (what it claims is neutral) fragrance, it really took all the post shaving irritation and inflammation away.

Cool to the touch, it felt soothing, and any redness was gone within 10 minutes. The faint fragance is light and fresh, and very bearable, and will not clash with aftershave (which is NOT applied to the shaven area...yeeeeouuuch). The only downside I have experienced, is that despite a 'non-greasy' claim, after a day of it on my face, I do feel dirty and greasy, and look forward to a post work shower. ...

...my face. Nivea for Men after shave balm does just this. It is available in its original version, as well as a version for sensitive skin which is my personal preference, although I have tried both.

NIVEA For MEN After Shave Balm
Like most men I detest having to shave , as much as I hate having a stubbly face, but not as much as my wife's hatred of my bristles . So with the vote at 2 to 1 against stubble I resign my self to the painful task of shaving.

The balm comes in a white bottle with the Nivea emblem on it saying for men after-shave, under this is a small oblong sign saying sensitive balm.

Nivea for men after shave sensitive balm, changes the need for this, it is a milky liquid with a consistency that is slightly thinner than single cream. It is also very importantly alcohol free.
For those that understand such things, it also contains Camomile and is Vitamin enriched.

Firstly I dry my skin thoroughly after having completed my shave. This is very important

Nivea aftershave balms come in 100ml glass bottles, which look quite stylish (if you're interested in that kind of thing). You're advised to apply a small amount after each shave, so a 100ml bottle should last quite a long time.
The balm itself smells much like many male grooming products - a kind of perfumed, soapy, harsh, but not unpleasant odour. It is white in colour, and thin and slippery to the touch. Much like every ...
