Karlo,
It is a big tub, 250mg, and should last several months. All you need is the amount the size of a small almond.

Thanks! That's reasonably cost effective.

Which country manufactures Xpec ?

I'm not entirely sure but I think it's an Italian product. I remember reading that it is made by the same company that manufactured Domenico Caraceni shaving cream.

Slasher, yes, it is Italian.

O.k... i was a bit confused as to why, on the back of the xpec tub, there is a London based address?

Having just started, I have not experienced many different products yet. However, I have in my daily rotation a few that are working:
AOS Unscented/Lemon cream
Blades Grimm Luxury Soap
Shaveworks Souffle Cream
I have also tried the Van Der Hagen soap that came with their starter kit. I just could not get it past the dry and thick stage, unless I added some cream.But even then it was not satisfying. I have several sample pucks coming from Stirling in the next week, and I hope my lathering skills are enough to make them pleasurable. Thanks Obie for sharing your experience! I have several new items to consider in the coming months, thanks to all the great members.

So ........... nobody mentioned Williams ? ..............

Newbie to this forum.

Here are my current fav 7, in no order.

L.A.S.S.C
Wickham's Super Smooth
CRSW Select
MdC
Acqua di Parma
Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Cream
Stone Cottage Creams

For me, it's fairly easy. Coming up with seven was the more difficult part. In no particular order:

1) Barrister and Mann tallows
2) CRSW Select soaps
3) MdC (either fragrance)
4) LPL (huge fan of the vetiver bourbon)

From there, things degrade rapidly, but a couple creams would probably make a top seven list. Simpson's, Pen's or C&E or something. I honestly don't have a seven wonders list. I just can't come up with 3 more which are at the same level as my top 4.
