Review (5/5): Nivea in a Tube is the Gold Standard of Shaving Creme
I have been using Nivean Shaving Creme in a tube since 1980, when I first bought it in Germany. It is the Gold Standard of shaving creams. I have always stocked up when in a country where it is sold.
I have used it with multi-blade cartridges, where all you have to do is rub it on your face with your fingers, and it works great. I currently use it with a double-edge safety razor, but because of the single blade one is using, it is better to use a brush to get it on; a bowl is not necessary, just put a dime-size amount on the brush and make circles on your face to make it lather.
Finally, it is only sold in stores in Germany, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands Spain, and possibly others. I have no idea why is isn't sold in countries like the US, UK, Italy, etc. But the Amazon price is pretty darn close to the price in these countries, and it is much easier than driving into Canada to buy it, unless you're in Buffalo or Detroit. :^)
Sure, you can get it in a can, but all that air, all those chemicals: The tube of shaving cream has all the good stuff, and no wasteful bad stuff. And Nivea has always had the best version of every product they sell. The Shaving Creme continues that great tradition.
