Shaving cream from a can-Why not?
I am a total newbie so please no name calling. I have never shaved with a straight razor but I admit I am a bit intrigued by the idea. What is the benefit of using the various lathers and soaps brushed on as opposed to the canned foam I use with my Trac II? Not trying offend anyone, just wondering. I actually use the gel stuff that turns to foam.

DO NOT CHALLENGE THE WET-SHAVE ORTHODOXY!
Just kidding :) For my part, I've never looked into the contents label of canned foam, so I don't have strong opinions about chemicals etc. in there. My dad raised me on a mug & brush (Williams soap), and while I used canned foam for convenience as a young adult, I gravitated back to real lather pretty quickly because I just missed it: the stuff just feels so good, it's worth the bit of extra effort. This is years before I put down the Mach # in favor of the straight razor or double-edged.
