What's sick is that my cheapness partially motivated the extra passes: I hated to waste the lather.
I know the feeling. Sometimes I lather my entire face and neck with "spare" lather and rinse.

Gents, how much does a tube cost there in the US? Is it easy for you to find? Also, has it been reformulated lately or was its formula already paraben-free?
$5-8 for a 6 oz./177 ml tube. It's very common where I live. They have a website where you might get more information: www.cremocompany.com
I much prefer Kiss My Face if you are looking at brushless creams. Better performance, better post shave feel in my opinion.
I didn't know Kiss My Face was a brushless cream. I got some for Christmas and have been using it in a scuttle with a brush. I have been getting great lather and great shaves. I guess sometimes it pays to be clueless.
My one and only brush -- the no-brand syntho that SWMBO bought me for Christmas, which started me down the wet-shaving path -- died Thursday, and my Omega Pro48 (already ordered at the time) has not yet arrived. So, I figured, what the hell? I'll try something new.
Following label instructions, I obtained excellent results with the red-cap variety of Cremo, although I did have to re-apply after second pass. No blood, no irritation, and every bit as good a shave as I can get with soap and a brush. This was with 48 hours' growth, and a fresh Feather in the 34C.
I won't switch from brush and soap; I like that method. But for traveling, I just might pack the Cremo instead of brush, soap, and bowl. I will certainly recommend it to people who have no interest in brush and soap -- it beats the canned stuff six-ways-to-Sunday.
