He's talking about XPEC and for $30 from Connaught, yes it is. Full price, no.

What is it?
The older formulation of XPEC was considered the best cream on the market by many. The current formulation is still an excellent cream, but the quality of the lather isn't quite up to what it used to be, and not any better than several other high end creams. The scent is polarizing. I happen to really enjoy it, and therefore also use their AS and EdT. XPEC will always be in my rotation.
I pretty much agree with you but for me I would word it that nothing out there currently outperforms it. I really did like the old formula but I really don't notice much difference in performance except the new formula is a bit stiffer. If I work the lather a little longer, I get very similar performance compared to the old formula. At $30 it is a very reasonable value considering the performance. The cost is less per shave than MdC and a lot less compared to Nuavia. I love Nuavia, especially the scent, but I feel you are paying $25-$30 for the ceramic container. I have several high end creams, they perform well, but not better than EXPEC. Of course you can get a great shave for a lot less cost per shave using Tabac or Haslingers but XPEC is definitely a top tier product and if you enjoy the scent, it's cost is justified for the experience.
