Another use for men's post shave balm?

Hey all

I did Race for Life yesterday and got the goody bag which had some nivea stuff in. One of the items is man's post shave balm - I found this odd as race for life is a female only event!

I am female. All male's I know do not shave or wouldn't want to use it.

It's only a small 30ml bottle. But in the ways of MSE I really don't want to waste it!!

Are there any other alternative uses for it? It's a bit too sticky to be used as a moisturiser, and it does smell very manly!

Do any charities accept something like this as a donation? I am planning on making up some boxes to send to a friend who will be serving in Afghanistan with Army late this year. He won't use it, but do they have a pass it on scheme? I can't ask him as he is on exercise somewhere and out of contact!

TIA

    it is very good for after shaving anywhere on the body see the arms legs and other furry bits thread. It does smell manly but is great for preventing shaving rash.
