There are a lot of postings about the AdP tub on this forum. I do use the cream from the tube and do not find a lot of users of this freaking , outstanding , best shaving , top smelling, non skin irritating, expensive stuff.

Any other experiences amongst you guys ?
For me it tops my Castle Forbes lavender and Trumper Rose cream wich is not an easy job.
For me after having tried quit a bit of the tubes (approx 20 different brands) the AdP cream is the ultimate tube cream so far. Very much recommended if not tried yet.
So let me know your experience about the AdP TUBE cream please.

I've never seen AdP in a tube rather than the tub

Same here, been using AdP for quite some time now and have never seen it being sold in a tube...

Wow, so that's like $46 for a tube of shaving cream plus shipping. Yikes!:w00t:

I like the tub better as well. It is a harder consistency.

ALso thanks for reply COZ>
COZ what is the advantage of harder constitency ? I do put some cream on my brush and face lather so in my case I only see disadvantage as the little "plug" of cream from the tub could fall off the brush whilst the cream from the tube nicely "glues" on and into the top of the brush before starting to swirl around .

I have not tried the tube or ever even seen it, but the AdP tub cream is simply the best of the best.

I assume the tube version is a slightly slicker version of the tub cream as my experience is also one of a absolute TOP performing cream in all respects. (also price but when calculated per shave it should be a minor drawback for many of us as a small bit is enough for 3-4 passes).

I've seen the tube, but since I prefer to load my brush directly from a tub like a soap, the tub was my preferred purchase. Great cream either way!

I have it and dont really like it...smells a bit medicinal in my opinion.

I had my first shave with ADP tonight and let me say this......the tub is definitely the way to go! :thumbup1:

Anyone have both & would share the ingredients lists? Or, more directly, are they really the same stuff? I have occasionally wanted to try this stuff

I would guess the ingredients are the same, but I've never seen the tube.
