Hello gentlemen,

I'm still pretty new to the straight shaving game (about two months in) and have yet another question! This one is about my preshave. I have a soap and badger brush that were given to my by my father, the brush is in great condition (as far as I can tell), and the soap appears to be fine. However, when I create my lather (I've tried several different methods which I've found here and on other sites) my razor does not seem to "glide" very well. Lately I've been using foam out of a can, and have been having great results! I wonder if soap can get "too old"? This soap whips up nicely, and stays put on my face, but doesn't give me the same lubrication as a canned cream. Should I try another soap, or stick with the can since it works? FYI the soap is a "colgate palm-olive soap" from NY, if that means anything to anyone. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, you guys have been great helping me in the past!
Cheers!
