Chamois Cream

What is the "go to" chamois cream these days?

I've used Assos for years..both old formula *tingly* and new *blue*...seems ok, but wondering if there is anything else folks like.

Cheers.

Another vote for Buttonhole. About $20 for 8oz on Amazon. For me, because I use a lot in the summer, quality and price have to play nice. So far, Enzo's is the best balance of both. Might be a better cream out there somewhere, it may cost too much to be an everyday option. That said, aren't we all always looking for what better?

A pretty long list here. If there are any to add to that post, let me know and I'll edit it.

For me, I really like Doc's chamois cream.

DZ Nuts is one of the best ones I've used for years... but it has gotten up in price lately. It has the right density and healing ingredients for saddle sores. Also it does not leave a mess on the shorts.
These days, most companies are reducing the amount of product you get to leave the same price, or they keep the same usual size and charge you more... Over the last couple of years, DZNutz has gone from $12 to $18 a tube!

Other brands I like are Muc-Off (no, not the chain lubricant) and Assos.

But, I do prefer a cream that comes on a tube, rather than a jar and it's not oily in any way. Reason being, one can avoid "double dipping" fingers on the thing and waste of product. I also like to apply the cream on my skin and not on the chamois...

I really like the rapha stuff. I got it as a gift once and have not bought anything since. I have tried a bunch, some I also like, others I dont.

Second very close to rapha is Ballocks

I've always thought that Udderly Smooth was basically Noxema.
