Formulation similar to Florena (add the marine extracts to that), but a nicer scent.

WJW FOX 8 News in Cleveland interviewed Ledger in Nov. 2007 when he was promoting "I'm Not There." In the interview, he told FOX: "Being a dad changes your perspective — I don't want to die young." Ledger also told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stressed...

It appears that the Nivea is brushless. But maybe they just avoid mentioning use of a brush to avoid scaring the great unwashed away from using it :lol:
Huh?

They say to apply it with a brush

I like everything about the Florena cream, except for the scent. Hopefully the Nivea cream isn't just a re-packaged Florena. If it smells good, lathers up like Florena and the price is under $10 CAD, then I might just buy a bunch of tubes and never visit the "Shaving Cream and Hard Soaps"...

Haven't seen it yet; should be available very soon. I'll go to Shopper's (pharmaprix) tomorrow.

We have Florena cream in Quebec, but we don't have their a/s balms

Curiosity. I can great shaves with M3 and canned gels. It's all about technique I respectfully say that I'm not so sure that's a universal truth. Certainly could be true for some individuals with soft beards, very regular growth patterns, and lacking sensitive skin. But for many men, it just doesn'...

The DE razor just didn't work for me. I am a Mach III user. I use a badger brush, C.O. Bigelow cream, and a regular Mach III. I do three passes: WTG, XTG, and then finish off with an ATG. Baby butt smooth everyday, seven days a week. No irritation, and quite fast as well. I have EXTREMELY sensitive...

Scent: love the scent, very fresh and citrusy; this balm has its own scent, different from the other AV splashes. Moisturizing: in my opinion, it is one of the 2 most moisturizing balms among drugstore offerings (the other one being RSC Balm). It leaves my skin nice and healthy, thanks to the Casto...

Niksa, I have small kids, and humidity is very important for kids - that is why I know the exact humidity :-) I've been using exclusively balms for several years (first Nivea, and for the last six months - coral skin food and Proraso pre-post), but about a week ago I received a package with Musgo, ...

I have naturally dry skin, but I love the scents of Aqua Velva Green and Nivea Replenishing Balm (both have alcohol) after a shave, so I'm trying to work them into my routine. What I do is the following: 1. Velva Green or Nivea Replenishing 2. Real Shaving Co. Moist. Balm 3. Vaseline Cocoa and Shea ...

KMF shave creams are disappearing from Montreal health food

I went to 2 health food stores today, located in downtown Montreal; they used to sell KMF shave creams, but apparently it's not the case anymore; they told me the KMF creams were one of their worst-sellers.

Tks god we have Method Bloq for superlathers!!! :wink:
