Thread: Shaving cream?

Heck, I gave up on the canned stuff even before switching to a straight. I didn't like the idea of having to buy $4 a can and just ended up shaving with my M3 in the shower under hot water...which turned out to be better than the canned stuff anyway. I didn't get a brush and soap until I started using straights.

Using shaving cream from a can should be outlawed in the land of the straight.

I used shave goo once, then went onto King of Shaves gel. The last one I bought was the Azor stuff in the white bottle as my other half kept using the blue one on her legs etc. After I tried proper soap and a brush I gave her the gel. Another good thing about using a straight is she doesn't pinch it to use oin herself. I often wonderd why my MIII blades weren't lasting very long lol. I won't be gooing back to canned/bottled stuff ever again.

I think that was the last stuff I bought too. I was down in FL for a vacation two years ago, and didn't want to take my shaving cream down with me. Thought it would be better to just buy one down there. The Target I went to didn't have what I normally used so I tried the King of Shaves. Granted at this point I was a few weeks into straight shaving, but I just didn't like the feel of any type of gel.

I will say this though..... I really liked the King of Shaves gel, just not with a straight.

Canned goo to a face is what cool whip is to a nice piece of apple pie! yuk! Do yourself the favour of aquiring some quality cream. Goo will never match the superior performance and esthetic experience a good cream will deliver. I have tried a lot of different quality creams over the last several years. My favourites are Tof B Avacado, Rose and Trumpers Violet.

Throw it out. well, you could use it to decorate newly wed's cars. Yeah, toss it.
