Nivea's ACTIVE 3: Shower Shampoo Shave

I am a fan of products that multi-task, so you can imagine my delight when I encountered on the grocery shelf, the latest item in Nivea's line for men--New ACTIVE3. Unlike Nivea's shower gels for body and hair (SPORT with mineral extract and ENERGY with mint extract), ACTIVE3 boasts of a third benefit: it is effective as a shaving gel.

Ok, you may argue that most Filipino men do not keep their razors in the shower (nor do many of us have much body hair to shave); nonetheless, the consumer promise of ACTIVE3 is a sound one, and I would not be surprised if some metrosexuals suddenly take on the habit of manscaping because of the product (however, that also means installing a mirror in the shower and investing in a razor like the Philips Norelco).

ACTIVE3 lathers bountifully, making full use of advanced microtechnology to ensure a smooth shave by lubricating the skin and minimizing painful nips. Some may be put off by the film of moisturizers that the product leaves (you will have to resist the urge to wash it off completely), but this is necessary to keep the skin supple after all that shaving. My only hesitation? Though ACTIVE3 has a most pleasant scent, the fragrance can afford to be less floral (come to think of it, women may benefit from the product too).

Nivea's ACTIVE3 for men retails at around P160.
