    You can't compare any shave soap to the canned stuff because it's specifically manufactured to foam up like that.

    VDH is one of those brands that all of us at one time used. it's great for a beginner and comes under the classification of "it gets the job done". Once you explore what's out there you probably won't want to use it again though some do like it and go no further. If you do some exploration you'll find a whole universe out there for just a little more money.

    Hello, NightTrain:

    I concur with my friend thebigspendur. The VDH will do for starters. Learn lathering as much as you can with the VDH and then explore the vast universe of fabulous soaps waiting for you.

    Regards,

    I think this is a review of their new luxury line, not the green box line.
    Amazon.com: Van Der Hagen Men's Luxury Scented Soap, 3.5-Ounces (Pack of 3): Beauty

    I will have to search for this locally

    This is what I bought. It wasn't locally available that I could tell but perhaps you will have better luck.

    I can only imagine the different soaps out there. Again, for a first run, this is good stuff. I'm looking forward to finding other and possibly superior products.

    The green box stuff isn't too bad either, just nothing special.
