Recently I was on holiday and stayed at a Novotel hotel, in the toiletries they had "Mass Jet Paraben Free Shaving Cream".
I haven't tried that many different creams, but this is the first cream where I didn't feel like I'd just dragged cheese grater across my face. I was so impressed that I decided I'd buy some when I got back home.
Only, when I got back and searched for it, I found that it's not generally available even through places like eBay. I even took a tube of the stuff to a local shaving shop but they were unhelpful.
I'm not really sure how to describe a cream, but I'll try the template from this thread;
Also for what it's worth the ingredients list is; Aqua, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Lauric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 60, Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Parfum, Methylisothiazolinone, Phenethyl Alcohol, PPG-2 Methyl Ether, BHT, Hexyl Cinnamal.
