I grew up on Nivea products. Sorry USA, but this German company probably has the best personal care products world-wide. Yes, I am a girl reviewing a manly smelling shave gel, but Nivea does not carry a shave gel for women in USA. Plus, then I only have to have one can of shaving gel for my husband and I. I like it because unlike the shave gels for women it is not overformulated with moisturisers, so the razor can cut through all that annoying womanly hair. The manly smell can also be gotten rid of if you shave in the shower like I do. Just wash your body after and no one will be the wiser that a girl is using a mans shaving gel.
