"Best" is one of those loaded words. So I'll confine myself to saying that Biotique - either in a tub or tube is a superb performer.
Slickest, best shave creams?

By far, the two best and slickest creams for me are Santa Maria Novella(the slickest) and XPEC(Unscented version). Castle Forbes is right up there too. Some here have mentioned Esbjerg but I have found it just impossible to develop a decent lather at all with it. I tossed mine away finally.

The Arko creams are pretty slick!
I'm surprised no one said Cremo. Can get for like $7 at drug or grocery store. I can only compare it to TOBS Jermyn and organic, proraso white, and Crown shaving co. Out of the ones I listed, cremo is slickest.
XPEC has me on a soap hiatus. Love the stuff!

slickest creams i've ever used are tobs avocado, eshave, and al's. lea and la toja honorable mention.
Best... Speick. Runners up are Palmolive and Proraso.... Although Proraso not being the slickest
I grabbed a tube of Cremo at the drug store apply that first since it is not a lather then the Proraso second making it a super slick Proraso.
My favorite cream is Salter creams followed by Biotique. I recently tried Simpson creams, as well, and it was just ok but not as good as my top tier.
Great cream!!!
Biotique Palmyra is the slickest I've used.
Biotique is the most underrated shave cream on the market. Once you try it your hooked

Biotique Palmyra is the best kept secret ever, if it had more marketing it would probably be a top 5 cream in the shave world
AoS is pricey, but outstanding for cushion and slickness. I've tried the Peppermint, the Eucalyptus and Lavender, and all performed well. TOBS Peppermint, St. James, and Eaton Collage also have the slickness with a tad less cushion. Still more than adequate for a great shave.
I like Trumpers Rose.
Midnight and two is the slickest soap I've tried so far, theres just tons of slickness with Midnight and Two! Even after the soap is off I can go back and there's a good amount of slickness, I've compared it to Castle Forbes, Caties bubbles, B&M, CRSW, Mystic Waters... I listed those just so you know what I've used it to so you can get an idea. I like Castle Forbes but it'll be hard for me to justify buying it again over those other soap makers, I can get the soap and after shave for the same price as castle Forbes soap, too much mark up on it and from my experience, I think you can make your $$ go farther with those other excellent soap makers. Caties Bubbles has a good amount of slickness too.
Baum.be smells like mango. I smelled it last week at the Imperial Shave store because I was thinking about buying it but the scent did nothing for me along with xpec. I ended up buying a tub of TOBS Sandlewood along with Catie Bubbles Ruse scent.
