Why are traditional soaps/creams better than canned creams?
Hi everyone,
It seems like everyone here uses traditional shaving cream, soaps, etc to shave with. I see tons and tons of wonderful reviews of great products. Everything from Castle Forbes to Mama Bear Soaps to Williams Soap.
My question, what is the advantage of these soaps/creams over canned/aerosol shaving cream? I haven't seen any information regarding advantages other than name calling like "canned goo" or "canned crap".
Don't get me wrong, I can't imagine a homemade/specialty product being simply par with mass production, but I want more concrete information as to why everyone hates it. I know straight shaving is better than cartridge shaving, and I hear concrete reasons as to why, but not why traditional creams and soap are better than canned.
As you can tell, I have not had the chance to try any traditional products yet, and I'm looking for a good reason to spend money on a brush and other products.
Thanks, and I hope that made sense.
