    Oh yeah, Every time I cross into Canada, I grab a couple of tubes. I wish they distributed it in the US.

    I just bought 2 tubes of the blue tonight on clearance for less than $2 a tube. It is great stuff.

    It pretty hard to beat Palmolive Classic and it's super cheap!

    I just recently finished a tube of Palmolive Classic and I was very impressed. Cheap as dirt, easy to lather, mild scent. Hard to beat.

    Yes, wicked cheap and not bad really. They offer a bourbon vanilla, sage citrus, and a few others under $6

    Trader Joe’s Honey Mango. No lather, so I don’t enjoy using it, but it works great. $3.99 for a large tube.

    I'm enjoying my Proraso Red tube shaves lately.

    I can get it off the Bay for under $8 delivered.

    I'll have to try the Palmolive again.

    I can't recall which one I used. But I really liked the soapy green scent and I got a really great shave. But the only problem was that it broke me out with an itchy rash for about 2 and a half hours.

    I just wonder if I could find a Palmolive cream that I wouldn't get a reaction too. As I kind of want to give it another try.

    Has anyone tried the sensitive with Aloe? If so, could you tell me a little bit about it.

    I could never quite figure what the scent was, all I could think was gum. Not a favorite for me but it does work quite well.

    There's no downside to Nivea or Proraso tubes, imo. Solid products.

    I’ve had good experiences with Gillette Lime shave cream from India. You can buy it from Maggard Razors these days for about $5.

    My best value cream is, without contest, Palmolive Classic. I would answer the same if you wake me up at 1:00am.

    This was my last tube and the last cream I used before switching to soaps, exclusively:

    Would I still get the cookie points if I tell you that any AS will go with it? Its scent is delicate, soapy delicate.

    It goes great with Skinbracer. I like the Palmolive soap stick too.
