Slick honey or shimano special/I actually use an automotive anti seize on my bikes. Just need a little bit and a small can will last forever. Not worth it to pay for specialty bike grease just because.
slick honey on suspension stuff. park on anything else.
the problem is i need it now and i would have to order it
Shimano anti-seize.

Mobil1 synthetic is great stuff. Slick Honey for suspension all the way though.
If you can find Motorex grease - possibly at AutoZOne -- basically same thing as Park Polylube or Phil Wood green.
Anti-Seize, grab some permatex in the lil tube - but have rag handy, its silver and likes to get everywhere!
JudyButter or Slick Honey for shocky doodles...

WHAT>!>!?!??! BLASPHEMY!!! You mean to say that in the 5 years and $2k park has spent on grease R&D isn't isn't somehow magically better than what every car/boat/moto mfg has figured out? I thought the bike mfg.'s have developed the best of everything for us!
Anyways: Grease v antiseize totally depends on the application. There's a lot of different parts on your bike that need lube for different things.
Astroglide is where it's at!
KY is for noobs

Wait. Are you using it for Ti parts? Because as I understand, if you use regular grease on Ti parts going on Aluminum (like Ti pedals on aluminum cranks), a standard grease will only cause the Ti to seize.
But then, I know just enough to be dangerous.
I use the Maxima Blue Death waterproof assembly grease that smells like Kerosene for threads, shafts, axles, press fits, etc. Not for seals or packing bearings however. ~$5 at any motorcycle shop.
I use:
slick honey for suspension.
Bellray waterproof grease from the moto store for most everything else. I have used Mobil 1 syn Red grease in a tube from the auto parts store with good results too.
Copper based anti seize from the parts store for keeping bolts from seizing.
What is your specific application?

If your in a hurry, waterproof marine bearing grease is great for bikes. CHeap too.
True you gotta have a condiments quiver.
