The deeper you go down the rabbit hole of wet shaving the more important it becomes for a number of reasons that take about a page to explain.

Certainly, I've found since using a straight, that I'm more fussy about soap. For example hair conditioner will work well enough with a DE, but since I do a lot of skin stretching in a straight shave, the slipperiness would make a straight shave very difficult to execute.
