I did not mean to take so long off. I was actually going to write this review last week but like the rest of the country I got hooked watching the inauguration, although I missed the actual swearing in.  This week I’m starting back with our reviews of the products ShopLOLEX offers. Like I mentioned in my previous entries, Nickel Men’s Skin Care Line has an almost cult-like following. As well it should because all their products are top notch based on most people’s experiences.

I was not the actual tester for this week’s product, Nickel Fire Insurance After Shave Cream. A buddy of mine volunteered himself after promises of free products. He is one of the lucky ones with normal skin so he could basically use anything. One thing to note, although the products says cream, it’s actually a light gel. This after shave has glycerine and allantoin, which help with oilier skin while providing a moisturizing treatment after shaving. It also has corn oil for providing a calming action to any cuts and razor burns.

My buddy did like this after shave alot and in fact took 2 boxes with him, so obviously he plans to use it for some time. He told me he definitely liked the way his skin felt after as opposed to other brands he has used before, both drug store and some high end. The most important thing about after shave is not having alcohol in it, which dries out your skin and stings your cuts and burns.

He recommended the product highly and in fact took a few other Nickel items with him to try (next time he pays). I feel that this after shave is a great deal as are all the other Nickel prosucts. Although a $30 after shave seems high when comparred to a $5 bottle at Walmart, we all know that when it comes to grooming products especially, you really do get what you pay for.

In my opinion, this is a great all around after shave that is perfect for all skin types. If you’re already using other Nickel products, you might as well add this one to your collection. Hope everyone has a great week. See you next tues.
