Hi folks.
I tend to use creams more than soaps and whilst there are plenty of refill pucks out there for the soap fan I wondered if there are any similar solutions for creams? I will no longer be buying those plastic bowls from tobs, harris, trumpers etc but would still like to be able to use a cream if possible. Would be great if they could offer refills.
Proraso do pouches for barber use, any other suggestions?
Proraso and Trumper's also.Metal tubes might be a slightly better halfway house? That would give you access to Williams, Ach Brito, La Toja, Tabac and Speick from memory - must be others as well? - I.
I imagine lithium grease has terrific glide though,The excellent bargain basement Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream is just £2 for a 100metal tube from many supermarkets.
I have kept back some empty nice-looking Proraso glass bottles for possible use with shaving creams. I filled one with white lithium grease for my hobbies / repairs and made sure i re-labelled it VERY clearly
There is also the refillable silicone squeezy travel bottles intended for small amounts of soap and shave creams ? One of those would be ideal because the flip lid is removable so you can easily wash them out.
I was about to say something like that, slicker than a greased slug on a bar of wet soap. "Copyright blackadder".I imagine lithium grease has terrific glide though,
I use both aluminium and Polypropylene tubs for my shaving soaps. I’ve no problem in using Polypropylene as it is easily recycled unlike a lot of true plastics. I had a US YouTuber making an issue about how easily dented aluminium tubs are and for shaving enthusiasts who want to do SOTD images they look so unsightly. Seems as a makers we can’t win! I’m now having to supply US in Polypropylene tubs as he “ridiculed” my aluminium packaging! I’ve made sure, however the tubs can be easily recycled hence using Polypropylene. At the end of the day any tub or tin can be repurposed. How many of our dads stored screws, nuts and bolts etc in tins, plastic tubs and coffee jars. All we have to do is the same.Hi folks.

I reuse my old tubs, thats why I'm looking for refill recommendations. What I want to avoid is adding yet more empty plastic tubs to my shelves. No shortage of jam jars out there for screws etc if I ever need more.I use both aluminium and Polypropylene tubs for my shaving soaps.
