You want cheap and performance?I hate to contribute to landfills, but I think today I will go and seek out a can of Foamy and a can of Barbasol and see if either work well with brush experiments. Way too many things to be curious about in this lil 'hobby', but ultimately I enjoy seeking the cheapest possible ways to the best results. If I can DE with a can of foam well enough, why not throw it in between my soap or creams a couple times a week? We might not have the penny anymore, but I'll always try and save 'em.
Buy Arko sticks in bulk.
I don't think there's anything out there with better bang for the buck.
