What is the slickest cream you've ever used?

[TonyH]

I recently switched from a DE to a straight and find the razor hanging up on my face occasionally. Not the edge, mind you, but the blade itself. It's like it isn't lubricated enough and sticks to my wet skin. I've got lots of good lather with several different brands (Proraso, Mama Bear, Kiss My Face) and have no troubles with my DE shaves, but the straight just likes to get...sticky. I recently started using Shave Secret in hopes that it would slippery things up a bit, but it hasn't done me a lot of good.

So...what is the absolutely slickest soap or cream that you have ever gotten hold of? I'm talking so slick that you can't hold on. Like Flubber.

Creamo cream is pretty slick.

Creamo. I hated the stuff because it was so goopy. But it sure is slick. Second place goes to Barbon, which beats the heck out of Cremo in terms of face-not-goopyness (c 2009).

JMFraser is really slick as is Clubman SC.

JMFraser is really slick as is Clubman SC.

+1 to Fraser's.

I use a straight and have found Truefitt&Hill West Indies Limes to work well.
I do, however, generally use a triple milled soap like Tabac or D.R. Harris.

I add some headslick to most creams I use.

Truefitt & Hill is the most slick of the big creams in my opinion. If you really want slickness, however, you should get a good soap.

+1 to T&H creams, especially West Indian Limes.

Castle forbes essential lime cream is really slick for me. Good lather too everytime

Penhaligon's blenheim shaving cream. Its slippery as, well you get the point. Kiehl's shave oil is a great shave with me FAC-DX.

You're sure your straight is sharp enough? Of course, I do not know which level of knowledge you are at, so please pardon my imprudence.

In terms of pure slickness, it's hard to best Creamo. Not my favorite cream, but definitely slippery.

 

[Areler67]

For me, JM Fraser is very slick.

I'm going to +1 the Cremo and the Headslick. Headslick is pretty easy to find and it's cheap. Plus, it lathers like nuts if you wanna go that route. I just hand lather it and it works wonders. Doesn't matter if it's DE, SE, Str8--it's just good stuff.

Saint Charles Shave soaps or creams are the slickest I have ever tried. Fantastic scents available as well.

I prefer The Gentlemens Refinery!

Any/all if you find the right cream/water balance. Just my .02. I say use what you like and work with it to find that balance.

 

[lsbrodsky]

I have tried a bunch and I think Edwin Jagger followed closely by D.R. Harris.

Cremo cream is really slick, but the synthetic orange soda scent is hard for me, especially with so many good scents out there.
