Review: Nivea Men shave gift set

Shaving can be painful business, but not if you've got the right gear to keep your skin in top shape

Shaving can be painful business, but not if you’ve got the right gear to keep your skin in top shape

With Christmas just around the corner, there are plenty of gift kits and bits and pieces that will be knocking around on the market for stocking stuffers, but this Nivea shave kit will is definitely one of the best.

Nivea’s skincare gear is always top quality, and taking care of your face before and after your run a very sharp razor over the top of it sounds like a fairly good idea to us. The shaving gel is not overly-fragranced like so may on the market, and the post shave balm is the perfect cooling feeling for your face, in particular if you have a bit of irritation from using your regular gel.

Once again, the packaging is neat and simple, and neither of the pieces of kit is too big to throw in your washbag before you head off to the gym in the morning.

Perfect for your brother or your dad this Christmas, the shaving kit will get rid of that red raw feeling, which is made even worse by the cold weather and the wind whipping around your face. Besides, at just €9.99 you won’t be breaking the bank, so you can pick one up for yourself too as an early Christmas gift. Go on, you deserve it.
