## Grave Before Shave against each brand

Each row is one other brand's range on sale. Median per oz is the middle of the per-ounce prices of its balms that have both a price and a size; "Against Grave Before Shave" is that median minus Grave Before Shave's ($7.00), so a minus sign means the brand costs less per ounce at the median. A median over one or two balms rests on very few prices, so read the balm count beside it.
