What's your best budget shave cream?

C.O. Bigelow cream is hard to beat especially for the price.

Kiss my face if you can find it as I see it less and less in grocery stores.

Godrej. At ~$1.40/70g tube it's of great value and lathers well to boot.

Three or four years back,it was Fraziers (Canadian product I believe). You could buy a huge jar for less than $10 and it was above average cream. But I haven't seen it in a while now.

That would be Castle Forbes Lavender (although Lime would also work). While the initial price does not qualify, after over a year of a cream longevity test I found that CF cost me less than half a penny more than Proraso a day with a typical three pass shave. Since I consider the CF considerably better in every department I believe that makes it the best budget shave cream.

When you consider price you have to compare apples to apples - daily product required and size of container - not initial price.

Now if the question is which cream is the cheapest regardless of performance I would have a different answer.

Godrej in the red tube

Maca Root on sale

Bio Palmyra even though they play games with the ingredients list

Proraso Blue, good price and a great cream with a lather and scent which work for me.

Real Shaving Company - found at most chain drug stores. http://www.realshaving.com/shop-shaving/

Bigelow / Proraso green

Biotique is really excellent stuff and not too expensive on Amazon (you'll have to remix it really good when you get it as it separates in transit).
Spieck cream is very good also and a tube is pretty cheap.
C.O. Bigelow (rebranded Proraso Green) is pretty good and low cost.

+1 on Godrej. It's amazing and cheap.

Erasmic, Manly, old school, performance in spades, only a £1 for 75ml. What's not to like?

Arko creams and aftershaves are a bargain, but Palmolive is the best inexpensive cream. Irisch Moos is the closest splash if you want a similar scent to Palmolive, but it costs more than a tenner the bottle.

Proraso white

Proraso red or green

Speick, 1,50€ @ the factory

LEA Classic SC

everyone will poo poo me BUT........

KMF...


$5 a tube, available just about everywhere, and it lathers like a maniac

You mean J.M. Fraser's? I have a tub, but I paid more than $10. I believe West Coast shaving still carries it. It is a very good cream though!
