Bense & Eicke (B & E) Vs Effax Vs Other Expensive Brands

[handsw]

This question is mostly for European leather workers because I think that these brands are uncommon in the rest of the world.

B&E and Effax are brands that sell grease, soap, beeswax, oil.... products for a very very reasonable price. I have bought 200ml of Gold Quality Grease from R.O.C and the price was about 7 euro + shipping. For that price I can buy 1kg of B&E or Effax grease.

The price difference is enormous and I wonder which are the differences between these german brands and the more expensive ones (like R.O.C).

I have checked the ingredients of the greases and they are quite the same.

I own also the balm of B&E and I am satisfied of its results, so I'm asking if someone can confirm the reliability of these cheaper brands and if you prefer B&E or Effax
