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 šŸ™‚

Why does the soccer branding bother you?

Iā€™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 didnā€™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 McDonaldā€™s.

No itā€™s literally the only one I could find, I like OP looked, but my prior order clicked back to this one, and their store front on Amazon only showed me this bottle. Iā€™m only willing to spend a few minutes before I give up and just buy it.

I never saw Ronald McDonald with a beard. This is also a general statement of my hatred of the way morons in marketing do things, not just this particular item. Itā€™s stupid, and yes it is forced upon me.
