Tube or Tub for Creams

Just curious, which do you prefer for your shaving creams, that they come in a tube or tub?

Tub if I know I like the product; more economicial, and, a sure-fire way of maintaining a greater supply of the good stuff around!

Tube if I've never tried a product; unit price is a bit more, but, more importantly, I'm not as 'committed' if I don't like the item. (tubes are also great when traveling!)

AAAAANNND this minion still accidentally clicks 'tube.' My vote is for tub not tube!

I find tubes to be more convenient, so I prefer those. But I do have tubs of cream too, namely Cyril R Salter's Essential Lime and some TOBS Rose which I might steal off SWMBO from time to time.

So far I have tubs so I voted for it...But some lines of Penhaligon's come only in tubes (like English Fern or Endymion, I think). This is probably true of other brands as well.

Cheers,
Robert

I like tubes because they are convenient and you use your stuff up quicker. You do may more, though.

I prefer tubes for the method I use, which is putting a bit of cream into the center of the brush then face lathering.

I like tubes because they fit in my bathroom cabinet easier.

**pauls51** · 08-02-2010, 04:24 PM

Tubes for me too... I have limited space so the tubes help...

**TheRuckus13** · 08-02-2010, 04:25 PM

Tub, because I face lather, since that's what I'm shaving.

Tub at home, tube on the road.

**jsrdrnr** · 08-02-2010, 04:31 PM

both really, but I lean more to tubs.

**JeffM** · 08-02-2010, 04:48 PM

Tubes, You can use them up quicker and try something else that might just be better?!

Love the tub. Love them so much that when I'm done one, I keep it to put cream in that comes in a tube.

I prefer a tub, and only have a tube for travelling.

**jgkeegan** · 08-03-2010, 03:24 PM

I like the tub for home and the tube for travel.

tub..........

**Xezmer** · 08-03-2010, 04:17 PM

Tub cause they're stackable and refillable with anything else. Tube because theres little waste.

Tube, because it is easy to be consistent, just squirt the same amount each time without paying too much attention. I also prefer metal tubes like the Bigelow (Proraso) because there is less air entering back into the tube (or tub) and it just feels nicer overall.
