Nivea Men - Body Shaving Stick



This is a stick of shaving balm that you apply directly to your skin.

The scent is generic "men's" scent, marine notes.

When applied directly on the skin in the shower, it creates a lubricating soapy film which works really well with a razor.
You don't get 'razor burn' and it is non-irritating.

This would be absolutely perfect for travel!

Price: 3/5 ($9.99 for 75mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Dove - Original - Anti-Perspirant - Roll On


This is another package calling itself an 'Anti-Transpirant'. Is it a European thing? Can I put it on a plant? Only time will tell I guess.

This deodorant makes the Dove claim to be 1/4 moisturising cream. 
It didn't really make a noticeable difference to me, and I think it was more valuable to your skin that it doesn't contain alcohol.

I don't think I agree with it's claim that it lasts for 48 hours, but it was effective for 24 hours and worked well.

It smells very soapy and clean and it isn't too strong, scent-wise.

Price: 5/5 ($2.58 for 50mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
