Nivea Moisturizing Shaving Cream in tubes - where did it go?
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2019 1:01 am
Has it been discontinued?
Not the "Sensitive Skin" variety in the white tube, but this stuff:
(I think the full name is properly "Nivea Men Protect & Care Moisturizing Shaving Cream", but who's got time for all that?)
I used to see it everywhere in brick & mortar stores, now I can't find any. It disappeared off the shelves at around the same time that Gillette "Pure" and Bulldog products showed up.
Instead, the remaining Nivea products are gels in a can.
I thought the cream was "okay" in performance, and "meh" in scent, but then I discovered (perhaps too late) that it makes a great additive to Proraso Green, Proraso White, and Wilkinson Sword ("blue bowl") soaps. Arko too, if I recall correctly,
It generally makes them slicker, but the best improvement is in the hybrid scent.
It is an essential component of my "Blue Monday" blend.
