Sensitive Post Shave Balm

I had done an internet search on aftershave balm and time and time again, Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm came up as the number one choice by most of the websites. I have tried many different products and each one came up short for various different reasons. Once again, Nivea comes out on top. Outstanding moisturizing balm and wonderful scent. The best value of any other product on the market.

It is with great sadness that I say I may not be able to use this product much langer if the packaging doesn't change. I LOVE the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm! I have used it now for more than 10 years. It is by far the absolute best Post Shave Balm on the market today. A long time ago the package had a pump that was easy to use and worked GREAT! Then for the sake of change, Nivea went back to just the bottle with a screw off lid. I saved the pump from my old bottle and used it for many, MANY years. I would take off the screw off lid and replace it with the great pump Nivea used to use. Now the most recent bottle I purchased of the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm has a new quick twist lid and my old pump with normal twist off treads will not fit the bottle any longer. Now it it very difficult to get the new quick twist lid on and off the bottle. Especially after you have applied the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm. I am getting older and my hands do not work as well as they used to but I am worried about the glass bottle slipping out of my hands and falling to the floor and breaking. I rarely think about a product packaging but in this cases the way the new lid, on the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm, makes the product much less desirable and has me looking to find another product. I just hope I can find another product just a great as the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm but without the very difficult packaging that Nivea has chosen to use on their current product. I just wish they would go back to the best way they ever packaged the Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm and that was with a very easy to use pump that dispensed the product perfectly. It made an excellent product simple and easy to use! Why do companies always have to "change" the way things are packaged just for the sake of change? In this case the change has made their excellent product far less attractive and in my case looking for something to replace it.

My mother bought me a 3.3oz bottle of this almost 20 years ago. I don't use it every time I shave. I use it any time my shave feels rough. When I do, it's guaranteed to take the sting out and reduce the red spots and inflammation. Almost 20 years I've been using it and I'm just about to buy my second bottle. It doesn't take much. I pour a small dab into my hand and I get plenty all over my lower face, chin and neck. I use it maybe once a week. 20 years later, still looks and smells as good as it did the first day. I'm sure Nivia would prefer to hear that I go through a bottle a month and douse my face with it after every shave, but I don't. It's absolutely fantastic stuff, though. Can't recommend it highly enough.
