About the only soap or cream available at local stores in the Chicago area that I will use is Cremo. Although its performance is not nearly as good as the products I use routinely, it is my product of choice for travel. I carry a synthetic brush and can whip up a lather in a coffee cup from the hotel room. Although Cremo is designed to be used without a brush, I prefer lathering it with a brush.

It does produce a very slick lather. Unfortunately, the cushion and post shave feel are just average. Overall, it gets the job done, so it is a convenient product for travel.
