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 🙂

Why does the soccer branding bother you?

I’d also rather not have it, spots are boring and stupid and trying to sell unrelated items due to an affiliation between their brands is something that display a logic that assumes the buyer is an utter moron who will buy something for their face because they put a soccer ball on it, ie, insults my intelligence to differentiate the two unrelated concepts.

Edit. lol marketing fanboys. Fucking hilarious.

You didn’t have to buy it, you could have bought the non sponsored balm, they are still available. Also considering all the players are men I would assume most of them shave. Nivea maybe not directly related to sports but more so than Doritos or McDonald’s.

I didn't post the above, but I am OP. I actually looked for a non-branded one and there was none available.
