To be clear I was referring to the tub, not the tube unlike the tube, it is made for Lathering. As mentioned I've only ever seen it on Amazon. It is called "Cremo Lathering Shave Cream"
Slickest Shaving Soap (or Cream)?

A vegan that can hang with the Tallow boys!
Barrister&Mann Soft Heart and Ariana&Evans Kaizen 2 are probably the slickest on the market atm, but there are a number of close contenders. Some soaps have this quality where they have better residual than upfront slickness, which contributes to their overall protective capacity on the skin. You can feel the difference in protection vs other lesser soap bases imo, your skin feels significantly less damaged after the shave.

Just ordered Barrister and Mann Waves and just tried A&E Kaizen
Not sure if it’s 1 or 2:
It’s nice but I prefer the tallow
Very citrus-forward
and not quite as slick as I like

That's kaizen 1 and it is tallow. Waves is in the Reserve base, not Soft Heart. I'm suprised you didnt find Kaizen slick enough, never heard that as feedback. What did you find to be slicker?

zingariman is a very slick soap also very nice post shave
I stopped trying at Tabac , slickest for me , I must admit to not having tried a lot of the soaps listed here but Tabac does the job for me , besides I managed to get a load of the shaving sticks for £1 each , I love a bargain
The Stirling Sheeparrived today...along with their unscented pre-shave soap. Let’s see if they’re as slick as they say they are
Does Stirling Sheep smells like MWF?
I tried MWF, but the scent is not for me. Slickness and post shave feel were really good, though.
I’m a “scent dealbraker guy”: if I don’t like the scent, I can’t use the soap, no matter how good the other attributes may be.
+1, I'm the same way.

Yes, Stirling Sheep has a slight odor
Baa!But their Naked and Smooth smells clean and fresh off the puck. I will shave with it tomorrow. Honestly, I had to double check that it was tallow-based, because it has zero gaminess
If it performs as good as it smells (i.e. as good as a typical Stirling soap) I will have a new favorite!
Maybe it's just dead ones.Why do you hate cats?
Yup. It's the gamey flavor I can't get past.
I’d say the slickest I’ve found in recent years is Taylor’s Platinum cream.
I scoop a fingerful out and it’s sliding off my finger as I’m trying to put the lid back on the tub.
I rub it into my wet beard and before I can get my brush to my face the stuff is starting to drip off my chin.
It makes a great lather, has a great scent and goes brilliant for me with a straight razor honed on a coticule stone.

TOBS Platinum and TOBS Jermyn Street Sensitive are two of my favorite scents. As a matter of fact, Jermyn Street is the only scent of which I bought everything - bath soap, pre-shave gel, shave cream, deodorant, post-shave balm, and aftershave!

I tried the Stirling Naked and Smooth today...and it performed as expected! The scent did change, however. It went from a definite clean, fresh scent to almost completely scent-neutral. I've tried about ten "unscented" soaps so far, and this is the first one that truly lives up to its name! Perhaps someone with a better nose than me would be able to pick up something, but I honestly couldn't smell anything at allYes, Stirling Sheep has a slight odor

You're right! The Zingari Man Navigator performance was superb. As a bonus, the scent is amazing! Thanks!
That Razor ! Which one is that fellow wet shaver?
