Today we go back to what I consider one of the best performing, over-the-counter shaving gels on the market. It's called DEEP from Nivea For Men and since writing about this back in 2019 my opinion has not changed so here is the original article.

I found myself in Rite Aide picking up some medication for my cold and I thought while I’m here why not look around for anything new. They're on the shelf was that new something. A product from Nivea Men called Deep a shaving gel with charcoal. Now I’m not one to sing the praises of charcoal but this I could not pass up it has one of the best scents I've ever come across for a shaving gel.  Ok, I know what you're thinking how can this be that good it comes from a can? well, let me put all those doubts away because this is going to blow your mind.


Let's start off with the packaging, for me, I really dig the design I like the black look of the packaging and how the gel is dispensed from the top under pressure and not a pump.

The scent of this product is what really gave me the deciding vote of placing it on the counter. I have to say it is one of the best over-the-counter scents I’ve come across in a long while. The Deep line features a signature masculine and modern Vanilla & Bourbon scent that is out of this world good. Let me touch a little bit on the gel itself. This formula, which includes Natural Charcoal, turns the gel from grey to white in your hands, it is a nice trick and I’ve seen this done before so I’m not very impressed or think charcoal is going to do anything magical to help your skin but one thing is for sure this shaving gel is a lather monster!

When I started to lather I was floored to found out just how much this little bit of gel was able to create it was staggering. Just like it said on the package the gel started out grey and turned to white and the scent was just heavenly.  I used my single edge razor and had no issue with going over trouble spots without any irritations. Here’s the best part the post-shave feel was just as good as any artisan shaving soap. WOW!

So, do yourself a favor run to your local pharmacy and give this one a try. It may not be the most expensive product in your den ($4.00) but I’m sure it will be the biggest surprise.
