Im new, and I remember the canned stuff I used back in 20ought 12...

I love the AoS stuff. Cream and soap lather up like nobody's business. I use the lavender stuff as well as lemon (based of course on scents the wife likes....I enjoy them very much as well). They are super pricey compared to Poraso stuff and others, which is super easy to use as well. I hang out on the Bay and wait...I have been able to grab full size kits for 50-60 bucks. My starter kit I first used lasted about 5 weeks...so I'm sure with all the stuff I have now may last years, especially since I am mixing in other soaps and AS products. I recently grabbed a bottle of their AS gel, which is also a nice AS product I feel will be well suited for when the heat and humid kick in.

Just a side note....I have seen many who have said scented products have caused some skin irritation. Just in case you are prone to reacting to such products
