Balea Sensitive shaving cream that I picked up a while back in Germany or Austria.

Not gerenally available in North America, the cream is marketed in Germany and Austria by the "DM" drugstore chain as a low cost alternative to Nivea.
Extremely cheap at less than $1 for the 100ml/3oz tube - the scent is unremarkable but the cream performs well.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Picked up some on my last trip to Germany, hard to dismiss at less than $2 and a solid performer to boot.
I know how you feel. I always come back with a refreshed supply of Palmolive cream and classic sticks when we travel to the UK. I now have 2 brand new tubes of cream and 6 or 7 NIB classic sticks in my storage drawer.

Saturday evening - MWF.

Love those Palmolive sticks - in particular when travelling.
At 75 cents in continental (EU) drugstores hard to beat.
Picked up 6 on my last trip to Munich.

Leaves Arko in the dust (and I won't even have to pinch my nose to avoid the Arko stench).

First two passes with Taylor Sandalwood, third pass and touch-up with D.R. Harris.

Want to find out which of these two sandalwood soaps suits me better.
Tomorrow, I start with D.R. Harris for he first two passes and finish with Taylor.

I have a feeling I know the winner already.
