Arko stamps a 'born on' date on the carton the tube of cream comes in. The instructions state to use within five years of that date. I suspect you could go double that and be OK.

I realize that shaving creams won't last indefinitely, but does anyone know about how long they do last? This is assuming that they are kept in a dry storage area, like in a cabinet of a bathroom and pulled out only when that specific cream is being used.
you are correct, sirOn the product label there is usually a picture of a tub with an open lid and a number followed by M, meaning months. This is the product's estimated expiry date once it is opened. I've found that most of the shaving cream tubs I've seen have 12M written on the label, meaning they have an estimated life of one year once they're opened.

I think the expiration dates that manufacturers put on their products are primarily there to encourage you to buy more product before you've used up the entire batch.
