What’s your ultimate/favourite shave cream of all time and why?

I have a garishly pink Rose one in a tub that I love the smell of and a tube of Palmolive in my travel kit as it's so easy to use.
BUT
My favourite is definitely Ingram's for the quality of shave and the Icy Blast.
 
If you like the idea of Acqua Di Parma, but not the price, you could try Alvarez Gomez Barberia Shaving Cream. It's about half the price yet has a somewhat similar, fresh scent and with excellent performance gives ADP a run for its money. It's perhaps closer to a croap than a traditional shaving cream, but well worth a try.

Another top class cream is Castle Forbes.

Another Alvarez fan here. Not quite sure it is up to ADP or OSP but damn fine. It would be easier to name your top most 'I won't go there again' creams.
 
I am a sucker for inexpensive traditional shaving creams, Arko et al, will do the job nicely, come without bragging rights but I am too old to care.

Before getting in to using soaps I used Trumpers Creams only. I must have gone through at least a tub of each scent in over 7 years of using them.
They all perform excellently.
My favourite cream of all time is Trumpers GFT. Solid performance and an awesome scent. (The matching cologne is very nice too)
They're not the cheapest creams out there but worth every penny in my opinion.
 
My favourite and without doubt the best was Mordock Avalon Shave Cream. Unfortunately no longer available.

After that any of the Castle Forbes pretty much out performs all the others.

Indeed GFT is a great cream with a great scent but do you not find the Cologne smells a bit, well, soapy? As do most of Trumpers Colognes
