After a discussion on another shaving forum, I decided to give Balea Sensitive another try. This creme is sold in the German DM stores, and is extremely inexpensive (EUR 0.65).
The positives are the low price, and the fact that it lathers up easily (when you use enough product). The lather also easily takes more water, without getting too runny.
The packaging looks cheap and industrial. The scent is neutral but slightly artificial (some call it unpleasant), and it feels like the basic cream it is. Though I must say that the lather is rich and slick, and really makes my razor glide.
I did get a good shave (two passes), and for the price, it is easily recommended. But there is a quality difference with more expensive creams (better packaging, more refined scent).
