Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love efficiency. Previously, I've been using Dr Bronners peppermint as a bodywash, shampoo and shaving (works fantastic for shaving, after about a week of your skin adjusting to it). The good Doctor was pretty decent, but the Nivea Active 3 intrigued me. God knows, the shower and bathroom are littered with Nivea products for The Girl... and she has a skin care regime that puts a 3rd degree burn victim to shame, so she knows what works. Plus, it is less expensive than the Dr Bronners and is made in Germany (you know, the Germans make good stuff).
First off - it smells quite nice. Not too overpowering, not flowery, but not some douchey overly masculine scent (i.e. not like Axe). Second - it feels really nice. Most soaps have a sort of astringent quality that leaves rinsed flesh feel sort of dry. Dr Bronners makes you feel like the desert where nuclear weapon tests are conducted (vis-a-vis moisture). Freshly Active 3d skin feels smooth and healthy. Good stuff.
As a shampoo - same schtick. The hair (what little of it I have) is very clean, but doesn't have the astringent feel produced by most shampoos.
As a shaving cream, it is pretty good. Look - it isn't the best shaving substance of all time, but it is good enough that it is my daily shaving cream because the convenience factor is just SO high. For shaving, it is very effective and comfortable, but I find myself having to throw on an extra lather and taking one last quick pass to get the close shave I seem to like so much.
Pros:
- Subtle, great smell.
- Very clean feeling, without the dry astrigency of most soaps/body washes.
- Extremely effective cleaning.
- Toyota Prius levels of efficiency.
Could Improve:
- Shaving. Better than 80% of shaving creams. Not the very best (i.e. not soap and a boar's hair brush).
Perfect For:
- People who really love efficiency.
- Men who have had their showers taken over by girls.
- Travel. Phenomenal travel product!
Not Perfect For:
- Metrosexual skin care fetishists. Call Keihl's.
