I bought a tube of this shaving cream at target a couple weeks ago. Used it today after discussing the bar soap with someone on the forums here over the last couple days. The bar soap was very good but I did not have much luck with the shave cream.
The first issue was that I couldn't even get it out of the tube! I was squeezing so hard that it ended up popping out of the top of the tube. It was like if it was a bag of chips that you squeeze too hard on one end and they explode out of the other. (Refer to picture)
I used a stiff synthetic brush to try to whip up a lather. I got a lather of sorts. It was very light and airy. It also disappeared very quickly. I experimented with more water, less water. I even tried adding more cream since I was now able to easily extract it from either opening on each end of the tube. It never improved.
The one positive was the scent, a very nice slightly sweet bourbon with cedar. I wish it lathered well. I ended up not shaving with it because it was disappearing so fast.
