Depending on availability where you live: L'Occitane has a nice shaving soap in a tin and Speick has a cream in an aluminum Tube.

Arko is a great and affordable soap stick.

Thank you everyone for all the great suggestions! I have put them all on my list of things to try.

I really like Ach Brito Lavanda shaving cream. Speick shaving cream and C.O. Bigelow are also good, but I recommend them in that order. They all come in tin tubes. I am recommending them based on slickness and razor protection. The scents are all good. Lavanda is a rather masculine lavender scent. Speick reminds me of old school shaving cream or a barber shop. C.O. Bigelow is a eucalyptus menthol scent. I find that I have to use more of it than the other two when I shave to get the same results but the tube is twice as big so it's okay.

I use Mitchell's wool fat shaving soap, apply with warm water and a brush. Leaves me feeling silky smooth

Price varies based on location, but typically the best bang for your buck comes in the form of soap as opposed to cream. A tube of Speick works great, but you get fewer shaves out of a tube compared to most soaps.

Someone mentioned Arko, and that's probably the most affordable soap these days. It comes in a shave stick or a plastic tub. The shave stick has less packaging, and you can load directly from the stick instead of rubbing it on your face if you prefer.

Proraso is also decent.

La Toja, LEA, Dr. Selby, Haslinger... all good options.
