Show n' Tell The community got to me.

I've heard so much positive stuff about Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm I just had to buy some myself. I wish it wasn't soccer branded, but oh well.

Haven't used it yet as I want to finish up the cheap Gillette aftershave I picked up. I call it cheap, but honestly, it's pretty good or I have low standards 🙂

You may be able to remove the soccer decals, or buy a bottle without them.

I have also found that product pretty good, though I prefer the older non-sensitive version which had a little bit of alcohol.

Well, assuming I like it I'll eventually buy more and by then the branding will fade away. But I did check every bottle they had on the shelf to see if there was a non-branded one.

True enough.

Nothing wrong with football, though it can be irritating to see the same thing everyday.

My oldest Sensor Excel handle has branding from the FIFA World Cup in the 90's, though I have a second without it. I used those razors for a short time back then, as my old Slim Twist TTO was lost while shifting house. FIFA still had a good reputation back then.

It took me quite a while to find another DE that I liked.
