I appreciate that for 50p the Palmolive sticks are great value for money and I love the smell they just don't seem to give me as good a lather as the Wilkinson Sword blue sticks. They're a couple of quid more I think at about £2.39 but again readily available in independent chemists, if they don't stock them they should order them in for you. If you know anyone going to Spain La Toja shave sticks are about 1 euro in supermarkets and are very good. I use La Toja AS daily which I bought from Vintage Scent for approx 8 euros.
Cheap but quality products

Palmolive cream in a tube is pretty decent for a couple of quid and I'm still using my BBR DE which is very similar to the EJ89L

Im going at the start of june! Will need to stock up
Get some Lea shave sticks if you're going to Spain, they are awesome, probably about the same price.

Well today with it being my birthday I really "treated" myself!!! Whilst in town I picked up Erasmic cream, stick and puck. I also picked up some Superdrug Sierran Breeze aftershave...
Used the Erasmic cream with my el cheapo Wilkinsons brush...very nice lather infact I prefer it to the Palmolive stick. Shaved with EJ 89L and Treet Platinum blade....
After shave was alum, Nivea Cool Kick balm and then Superdrug AS...
Have to say it was probably my most comfortable shave..smooth, soft and no irritation...

replying to myself here, but as promised, I went to the chemist today. They have the Erasmic shaving stick for 70p. It's a sodium tallowate-first on the ingredients list. I didn't see the point in buying one but they have loads in stock, so I could go again potentially. They seems larger as a pack compared to Palmolive (they had them for 99p!!!). They also had Culmack and Erasmic cream.

Although it says tallowate first on the ingredients list, they're still mince and I reckon you'd be better using mince for lather. They're hard, brittle, bright white and shite. Palmolive & Wilkie are way better and so is Arko.
