I've found canned foam doesn't really work with a straight. Not worth the hassle in my opinion.
Upon saying that, if it works for you, go ahead and use it. I'm yet to encounter someone checking that my lather is of the correct consistency and made from one of the correct soaps.
I still have some Gillette foamy I bought for my dad to use the first time he and my mother visited (I now live in a different country) 12 or so years ago. I must find a DE and see if it still works.
