Thread: Shaving Cream in a Can

Thanx everyone, The answers are what I thought everyone would say. I'm very happy with My VDH soap and there is some creams I want to try. Asking about the Goo cans was just to see if anyone tried them or uses them...

I stopped using that stuff and those other types of razor back in 2008 when I started Str8 shaving.. No need to go back since I get a better shave... when I shave....

Hoglahoo, How have You been brother? long time no talk to... I really enjoyed the Wapi's I got from You Years ago, but Bad news I lost them when I Moved...

Since I started SR shaving and using the traditional shaving products, my wife told me never to switch back to the canned stuff because she says my skin looks healthier and smoother from the creams and soaps I currently use.

I do i use eather gilleteshave cream or barboasol both of which my gram gives me as part of my care package for xmas, i also have about 50 cartridge razors stock piled up from her. works goood for areas not so straight friendly lol i love the cream when you mix it up with a dab of HOT water and then whip it up like shave soap/.

Using goop from a can? Eeeewwwww! You guys are nasty!

Nasty doesnt even begin to describe the situation !

That is a huge drawback to aerosol products - the drying effect, not to mention the dozens of. additives/chemicals they contain.

Agree wholeheartedly. I felt that the canned foam gave no protection to my face. The gel gunked up the multiblade razor I was using at the time, making me press harder against my face and rendering it as ineffective as the foam. If I knew how much better shaving soap and creams felt. I would have switched to them 40 years ago. Just didn't notice that the old time stuff was still being made. I think by and large that the last two generations of men are hoodwinked into thinking that the stuff offered typically in stores are the only things available.

The internet does have some redeeming value after all it seems. Shave stuff and forums.

Absolutely. I found all of this online at a moment I was totally frustrated with shaving as I had known it. I saw two articles: (1) The Zen of Shaving, and (2) Is Straight Razor Shaving for You? Ironically I found the best a man can can get when I canned the latest from Gillette.
