Wilkinson Sword made 30cl shaving foam cans, mostly supplied to the airline business for Business class passengers.

Because I travel a lot I favour carry-on only, which means small quantities of toiletries and I wet shave with foam. At one point it was easy to buy small shaving foam cans for travel and at some point they got replaced with gel. I dislike the gel.

One day in the Coop in Davos I saw a whole section of travel stuff and there they had Nivea Shaving Foam (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Sensitive-shaving-practical-trave...). This seems to be available in German-speaking countries. That day I bought the entire stock on the shelf (something like 10 of them).

Small cans of shaving foam (we call it cream here) are still very easy to find in the US. Almost any sizable store with hygiene products is likely to have them. E.g. https://www.target.com/p/barbasol-soothing-aloe-shaving-crea...
