Haven't tried many creams but Xpec (I think it has to be the new version) is incredibly slick.

I'm not wild about XPEC, personally. It lathers fine and is reasonably slick, but seems to me like it would be more appropriately priced at $25 than $70. I prefer Palmolive, TOBS Avocado, and Nancy Boy in nearly all respects.

XPEC is very expensive at most places but it can be had for much less. It can be bought at Connaught Shaving right now for $41.19 with shipping included to the US. That is a great deal compared to other merchants. The price fluctuates slightly due to the exchange rate but usually is within a dollar or two of that price.

Al's shaving have creams that are so remarkable. I'm surprised it's not really mentioned much anymore. Their goodfellas scent just beats Seville for best barbershop scent. And it really takes so little to get a ton of slick and creamy lather.

Al's is the one cream I like. Slick and a little goes a long way.

Yes sir, saved my shave yesterday. For some reason my Solsetio wasn't working with me. Pulled this out, made a super lather with both and my face is thanking me for it.

It's on sale right now at Creightons £5 each. I'm probably going to get another two.
