Slickest Slithery Slippery Shave Cream?
- Thread starter TheBurgh
- Start date
Alpa Windsor is the slickest that I have ever tried. It is made in the Czech Republic and is pretty cheap if you find yourself in Prague.
I believe I counted 18 different products so far in this post - which seems to rather strongly suggest that, given the correct ratio of water, most quality creams are plenty slick. This is a good thing as it eases the pressure on purchasing a slick product - they're everywhere.
Cremo!
Very few creams I've used don't have all the characteristics you've asked for. I agree with @musicman1951, lathered right most any cream will give u the desired results.
To add to the pot, my favorites Godrej red tube, la toja regular and Proraso blue.

I just booked a plane ticket to Prague to get that amazing shaving cream. <eg>
Classic Palmolive in the green tube is surprisingly good
Someone recommended I try Coochy shave cream, which is definitely slick and slippery. More so than Creamo and Proraso tube creams.
Kapo Bulgarian Cream available on eBay is great and inexpensive. Palmolive cream is also a favorite inexpensive cream. Available on Amazon last time I checked.
Any Shannons Soaps, Stirling, or ToBS with a dab of original Cremo added to the bowl
Do these 'slick' shaving creams tend to gum up razors between blade and guard, making it more difficult to rinse out or clean?
I've noticed gels tend to do that for me.

Have seen anyone mention Sterling soaps. To me, they are very slick, but I have used any of the other soaps pr creams mentioned.

I'm not a fan of the scent, but Body Shop Maca Root blows everything out of the water. I touch the alum block just so I can get a grip on the handle.

I find the glycerin loaded creams to be very slick/. AoS, SJoL, Proraso Single Blade, are all very slick.
I can't remember using any cream (or soap, for that matter except for the crap that was/is Col Conk) that didn't have the characteristics the OP mentioned. The only difference for proper performance in any of the dozens I've used or dozen plus in my regular rotation is how much water is needed.
XPEC. Just used it today and slickness was best of any cream I’ve ever used.

I have only tried four creams SR shaving. Palmolive Regular (Italy) is the slickest, including residual slickness. Just behind that is Proraso green but that also lacks the residual slickness of the Palmolive.
Any cream or soap if you mix a wetter lather. Shifting to wetter lather has significantly improved the quality of my shaves and blade longevity. Get your lather to the point where there is significant residual moisture after the shaving stroke. Lather should be almost but not quite runny. Specific to creams to date I've used LEA professional and menthol as well as Cyril R. Salter Wild Rose. All these plus my soaps are really slick with this method.

I was going to suggest proraso
I’m set to try Palmolive soon.
