    Yes that includes free shipping so I think it's a pretty good deal as far as Old Spice shaving cream it's really really nice stuff[​IMG]

    I think you'll like the Extra Fresh I mentioned earlier or the Sensitive version.

    As @Bussemand mentioned, they are lightly scented. Nothing at all, did I mention nothing?, like the stick.

    You can't go wrong.

    Palmolive smells lightly very soapy and clean but for the love of me I can't get a good lather from Palmolive.

    Okay, thanks for your feedback, Greg. Now I have yet another cream I need to add to my list of creams I need in my collection.

    "budget" has never been an aspect of wet shaving for me, unfortunately.
    Having said that, I have some Nivea sensitive skin shaving cream that I could live with if there was nothing else.

    I've been getting the Old Spice 30g tubes for about $3.50 shipped. Seems cheap, but not so much when you compare per ounce prices. Still, it's a good cream and the 1 oz (30g) tube is a perfect size for traveling.

    Indian shave creams are made to a higher standard than most out there. I believe there are government standards imposed on the making of all creams made there.

    I haven't seen Cremo mentioned. I've used it by itself, and in experimenting with blending soap & cream for the Super Lather Effect. While I don't have a wide or deep experience, for about seven bucks at Walmart it has been good for me. There is a menthol cooling variety now available that some members have tried.

    The Arko Adventure reminds me of Irish Spring, but the scent is lighter. The Arko Maximum Comfort has a bit is citrus to it, and they have matching balms that can be found for a good price.

    For economy, it's hard to beat $2.50 a big can for Barbasol Yellow. Good stuff for those willing to overlook that it comes from a can.

    All I can see is a blue poké ball. Maybe it's a generational gap thing.

    Not really. But, it almost lathers.

    What? It lathers. Quite nicely, in fact. It's sold as a hand lathering cream, but it lathers even better with a brush.

    Kiss My Face not only lathers it produces some of the best quality, moisturizing, slick, creamy lather on the planet. Bank on that! :)

    It's my go to shaving cream too. The missus uses the pomegranate grapefruit, and I use the Limes. I also keep a bottle of the unscented around for when I want to make an überlather with some of my shave soaps.

    When I first joined I read a post in which you spoke highly of it. Not wanting to invest much but wanting to try it, I took to eBay and found the pomegranate & grapefruit for a stupid low price, probably cause it wasn't selling. Made me a believer. As it turned out, it smells great! Highly recommended to anyone on this board and the regular price is cheap anyway. So thank you @PLANofMAN :)
