I totally forgot to mention Kiss My Face cream. It comes in tubes or pump containers. You can get it just about anywhere and it's truly excellent.
Best cheap cream? For me it`s bulgarian Viking Sensitive hands down !
Can't say that I have tried many tube creams. I'm more of a shave soap kind of guy. But here in the states, we have Cremo in a tube. The Sandalwood is really quite nice, excellent scent, good glide. I wish there was a matching alcohol aftershave. But I think it goes against their modern everyman business model.
Cremo has a bourbon scented shave cream.
Here: Bourbon Shave Cream
Addendum: Oh, appears to have been discontinued.
