After electric shaving cream/lotion

I have bought my OH a rotary electric shaver for christmas. He has sensitive skin and normally wet shaves with a Gillette. Was looking to get him a VFM lotion/cream/balm to use after shaving that won't irritate him.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks

    I used to use (steal!) my dads razor from him when I was a teenager to shave. I always found I had irritated skin as a result afterwards as I used to not use enough foam. I found the Nivea for Men range had (and still has) a really good after-shave balm. I still return to it now and then as it seems to work so well- other creams can be sore to apply but this stuff isn't.
  • My DH also uses Nivea (sensitive - the white one). and he really gets on well with it. He has tried lots of expensive ones but always comes back to this.

    Nivea it is then! He normally doesn't like to put anything on as he puts on "proper" aftershave ie the liquid but I guess you put the nivea on the shaven area and then aftershave on at the base of the ears for the smell?!

    Thanks for your help both!
