I've tried dozens of shave creams and IMHO Taylor's of Old Bond Street is excellent and one of the best when used with a badger hair brush. Unlike aerosol foam shave cream, you can take all the leftover cream on left on the brush and "squeegee" it off back into the pot to reuse again. Only the shave cream that goes on your face and comes off with your razor (preferably a double edge safety razor (with Feather razors) or straight razor for the closest shave). If you ever get razor bumps, a DE safety razor is the best way to shave. You'll rarely get them again. Besides Taylors of Old Bond Street, Proraso is also really good stuff and on the cheap end of the options out there.
