Tubes or Tubs

[Atlantic59]

Atlantic59, you posted one of the examples of a metal tube in my collection.

You can thank Google image search!

That image actually was found on a commercial website:

Tube for me.

I personally think you waste more product scooping it from a tub and I'd argue that that more than makes up for what you can't squeeze out of the tube!

That being said, if I wanted to try one that only comes in a tub I wouldn't let that stop me (TOBS for example).

I like tubes but my next cell bio purchase will be a tub.

Tubs for home, can swirl a brush on top of cream to pick up a little for shave. Tube for travel.

I prefer metal tubes! Mainly because I like using my little tube key. Plus, it’s terrific that a couple of my favourite products happen to come in metal tubes. Tubes all the way!

I like tubs. I use much less dipping the brush in the tub than squirting some out of the tube. If I didn't have a full beard, I might feel differently though.

What a great question! For soaps, I try to buy refill pucks to reduce waste. I would be happy to buy creams in any form factor that reduces waste but to be honest I have no idea what that would be.

Tubes all the way. Can’t stand creams in tubs.

I really like the LEA Classic metal tube. The cap is cool too.

The LEA creams are one of my favourite products. Excellent performance from each of the three. I like the “regular” versions in the white tubes.

I'll have to try the regular one next.

I haven’t been at this for too long. I only had tubs but picked up a few tubes lately. I like both. Time will tell.

I have tubs and tubes and I do prefer the tubes over the tubs.

If it's a soft cream I prefer it in a metal tube, if it's a hard cream I prefer it in a plastic tub. These are both Old School configurations.

Does La Toja come in a metal or plastic tube?

Metal tube, Sir.

This can be used on either a metal or plastic tube. They were made for plastic tooth paste tubes but work with shaving cream tubes.

I have both Cella Bio tube and tub. The tub doesn't lather as well and isn't as dense. I'd recommend the tube hands down. Also, If you like the scent, get the Cella Bio splash, that's where the scent really shines.
I generally prefer the performance of tubes over tubs.

 

[Waistgunner]

Both! I like Cremo (all scents) in the tubes and Razorock Italian shave soap in the tubs. It's all good!
