This. Go with a shave stick for minimum fuss. I think the Palmolive sticks are very under-rated. At the price they go for this side of the pond, they are outstanding value. In fact even at 20x the price they would still be worth it. The lather they produce is quite hard to beat.

Having said all this, I think Nivea shaving cream in its most recent formulation (post-2012 I think) is very very good. Recently got some for my father - I managed to try it once as well. It worked very well and left my face feeling ultra soft. I will be getting some soon on my next trip abroad.
