So,
Ive been slowly adding products to my shaving cache for a while now I suppose this is the affliction of many novices who are highly curious/experimental (perhaps with some extra emphasis on 'mental'). Most of my purchases have been creams, and most of these relatively inexpensive ones (C&E, Body Shop, Proraso, and 5 varieties of KMF creams) and Ive noticed something; these inexpensive creams, while not quite as good as my T&H creams, are certainly very strong competition for their much more expensive cousins. Now, this has me wondering; are there other bargains to be had out there? Specifically are the bargain-priced balms that perform to the high standards expected/required by the shavegeeks here at B&B?
I have balms by T&H (a sample of their ultimate comfort), several Body Shop ones (though, I dont recall which ones specifically) and the Proraso balm Honestly, I find the Proraso to be the best of these, but would like to try others, especially if there are bargain-priced ones that wont break the bank. So gentlemen, sift through your collective and individual wisdom and make your nominations for the BEST BARGAIN BALMS according to B&Bers.
