To continue with my bout of acquisitions from TJ Maxx here is the Nivea Body Shave Stick.I picked it up for 4 bucks.I see online that it is usually 6 dollars and higher.I have never used a Nivea shave product so this will be a first for me. I used it with a presoaked hot boar brush and brass bowl.I loaded the brush from the stick and hit the bowl and whipped up what appeared to be a thin lather,however when applied to the face it became thick and creamy.I used a shavette with a new Sputnik blade.I did 2 passes and a touchup.Pretty darn smooth and slick.Not quite as slick as some gel types I have used but better than most.My face felt smooth and hydrated. I may have to go back a get a few more for the cabinet,after a use it a time or two more.
I have a Nivea body stick and it's up for use tomorrow. Have used it one other time with good success. Rubbed the stick on my face and then face lathered. Resulted in a really nice, slick lather. I was impressed.
I usually buy the Old Spice version, but they were out of it so I bought NIVEA Men DEEP Active Clean Body Wash from Amazon. I really like it it doesn't smell like the Old Spice.
I recently got some of the Nivea stick off of Amazon after having seen this thread. I think it's a great performer for (facial) shaving and it really makes a nice lather if you use it with a brush. But.... something in it, probably the frag mixture, doesn't agree with my skin.
