I have a question, slick.

What's the slickest cream on the market? My dad head shaves, and loves slickness.

 

For me Erasmic Cream hands down. Followed closely by Lider Active.

 

I'm partial to RazoRock and QCS (the cream) for slickness. But, both are technically soft soaps, not creams.

There is a very slick cream marketed just for head shavers (with a name something like that), but it doesn't lather.

 

It's called headslick, but it clogs DE razors. It's kind of waxy.

 

Ah. Thanks. I remember I tried it on my face back in my M3 days, but couldn't remember much more about it.

 

Cremo® is very slick.

 

TSD creams are very slick too.

 

For me, Da Fat.

 

As are TSD soaps. One reason I try to make sure I'm using one for my Saturday Str8 Shave.

 

Does it have to be a cream? Arko is the slickest I've used.

 

Knowing my dad he wouldn't like to load a brush using soap. He'd like the simplicity of cream. Well, at least starting out using a brush until he got the hang of it.

 

Arko comes in various creams too. I used the extra sensitive it has a very light lavender scent.

I DE head shave several times per week. I've used C.O. Bigelow creme, VDH glycerin soap, Stirling soaps and Palmolive Cream. All work equally as good and are slick enough with a good brush lather. Your dad might enjoy a good scalp lathering.

 

I will second this. It is not a lathering cream per se but it is VERY slick. If you look they have a rebate tag on some tubes for up to $9.99 back which means you essentially get it for free. I picked some up a while ago at a CVS Pharmacy. I use it occasionally for a pre shave wash.

 

I use it as a pre shave, and face lather, right over it. Great shaves.

 

The Cremo® sounds a lot like the old style "brushless" shaving creams and might be ideal for your dad's purposes.

"Directions for a dream shave: Rub your skin with the hottest water you can stand for 30 seconds (in the shower works best or use a hot towel). Leave your skin wet: Cremo Cream is water-activated. Lightly coat your skin with an "almond-sized" squeeze of cream. Less is often best! Add a few drops of water to make and keep it slippery. Shave."

These days I like it best as a preshave, but when I was younger I'd often use Noxzema as a brushless cream if I was pressed for time. Same thing - just rub it into some wet whiskers and shave it off. Super slick stuff.
