Wondering what affordable shaving cream in a tin, or shaving soap you recommend? Trying to avoid stuff that comes in plastic tubes or spray cans. Much appreciate any suggestions!

Price varies based on location, but typically the best bang for your buck comes in the form of soap as opposed to cream. A tube of Speick works great, but you get fewer shaves out of a tube compared to most soaps.

Someone mentioned Arko, and that's probably the most affordable soap these days. It comes in a shave stick or a plastic tub. The shave stick has less packaging, and you can load directly from the stick instead of rubbing it on your face if you prefer.

Proraso is also decent.

La Toja, LEA, Dr. Selby, Haslinger... all good options.

Check out Maggard Razors if you're in the US. Check out Connaught Shaving if you're in Europe.

    Probably not a good idea if you're in the EU (customs duties since Brexit...). Yourshaving is in Spain, and there are probably more local shops there, too.

    Otherwise: seconding Haslinger (especially Schafmilch); nobody so far mentioned Palmolive shaving cream – which is quite nice and very affordable

    Edit: Tabac FFS, how could I forget this?? If you just buy the soap, very good value
