Gotta say - there's a funny paradox with how you can get into the 'manly' and 'scary' straight razor, but get absorbed with soaps / creams and making nice lathers... kind of a fusion between manly and feminine.
I don't know, I've never really thought of the making uberlather, using expensive aftershaves/colognes thing as feminine, and yes I'm very guilty of this! :D I see it more as part of the same masculine ritual--a way for a man to take care of & (I hate this word, I'm just using it for illustrative purposes here-- promise!;)) "pamper" himself, albeit in a manly way without forfeiting his cojones/dignity in the process. A form of personal care that he can be proud to do.
Sort of like lifting kettlebells instead of those sissy machines you find @ big chain gyms. More effective too, in both cases.
