Has anyone tried the cream in the tube? I've only heard of people using the concentrated cream in the tub.

Got mine today. Haven't used it yet but I can comment on the tub and scent.
The tub is hard ivory-colored plastic. Seems very sturdy and the top fits on well. It has air holes in the top.
The scent is very fresh and grassy. Kind of in the same vein as Heno de Pravia or Musgo Real but a little fresher....it's very nice, sort of old fashioned and soapy. The "cream" is incredibly concentrated. I'd call this a soap, to be honest. It's harder than Castle Forbes and all the Italian soaps I've used. It should last approximately....eh, forever.
Phenomenally. It's thirsty and I used my go-to 57mm loft Omega boar, not dripping wet, but with just a shake after a good soaking. Loaded for 25-30 seconds and got incredibly thick, cushiony, emollient lather. It reminds me of AOS soaps in the way it lathers and the slickness of the foam. This should suit guys with the toughest of beards.let us know how it works out for you.
Here's a link to how it lathers up on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7v2sE0eszs&context=C3f34fb1ADOEgsToPDskKesabO_y3x6Ew0Net5A3KR. This is one of favorite SS. It'll always be part of my rotation!
Thank you for the link, mate. The cream (actually a soap) looks dense and thick, how I like it to be. And the brush was really nicely lathered-up with a lot of soap, a lot of swirls and a lot of water. Sounds somehow familiar to me...
This has turned into a favorite since I received it a few weeks ago. A good thick rich lather with excellent shaving qualities and good skin care. The scent, know doubt, will be a YMMV thing but I find it to be a light, fresh soapy smell with a touch of green. The scent has seemed to mellow quickly in the bowl. I like this stuff.
