Curious what your favourite inexpensive product or products are gents? I've recently discovered a couple that have completely changed my shaving life and found a permanent position in my rotation... Not to mention saving me a few £ in the process. For me, it has to be:
Ingram shaving cream: This is a very recent discovery for me, I spotted it on the bottom shelf whilst browsing in Superdrug (not somewhere I venture usually but was with a lady friend.) Anyway, this stuff is £1.75/100ml and comes in a metal tube much like Proraso or Palmolive, it has a subtle mentholated soapy clean smell that is really inoffensive and doesn't linger for long after the shave ensuring compatibility with any aftershave or Cologne. In use it comes out the tube extremely runny, my first thought was "what is this crap!?" but, give it a chance! it whips up a first class lather, slick, protective and surprisingly yoghurty (yeah I just invented that word) no exaggeration, it outperforms some of my artisan creams costing £20/150ml.
Another bargain I've recently discovered is Treet "Black Beauty" DE blades, they're carbon steel and only last 2 shaves but my goodness what lovely smooth shaves they are! They work out about £7.50/100 blades, highly recommended.
YMMV
