Back in my cart shaving days I enjoyed this stuff.
Best Canned Cream?

I don’t mind the Gillette Gel offerings. These are my go to’s for work travel. Barbasol is not too far behind for me.
I tried the Shave Foam based on your post. Not bad and I would grab it in an emergency.
The scent was nice, but the consistency made me miss my shave soaps.
Yeah. I add some water and bowl mix it. I use it when I'm short on time
Thanks for that. I'll remember the water trick for next time.

I find foamy slicker, but the Proraso certainly has cushion of you are into that sort of thing.
I’ve been using a brush and soaps/creams for five or six years.
A week ago my gf bought me a can of Proraso shaving foam.
Whilst it’s thicker, creamier, better than any shaving foam I can remember, it’s still way behind what I can do with a soap/cream and a brush.

I’ll never understand the need to diminish and derail healthy discussion on a specific topic.
I was fortunate enough to start shaving from the start using a DE and brush, but a few years ago a decided to give canned foam a go. I tried the Gillette sensitive (It's not called foamy here and the only varieties are sensitive and lemon lime). It worked fine but made my face break out terribly. I gave the can to someone who used it regularly. I don't know what the scent of the sensitive foamy is in the US, but this stuff had a really strong Johnson's baby powder scent. The only other name brand foam here is Palmolive rapid shave which I haven't tried. No Barbasol but I think Proraso foam is somewhat available.
I bought a can of really cheap homebrand foam and funnily enough it didn't irritate my face. I only used it once, but I've still got it. I might give it another go during the upcoming 2024 restraint to mix it up.

I still have one can of this.
I just got a can of this for $1.59. Scent was very mild and summery. Also got a pack of Van Der Hagan blades and shaved the back of my neck since I shaved already today. With my Tech it was smooth. REAL smooth. Also the slickness test I do by rubbing the foam between my thumb and 1st two fingers was equal to Foamy.
I agree and they're hard to find too. Used one today with a Tech razor and Perma-Sharp blade. DFS+
In the 90's I was using brushless creams. The jar of Noxzema was outstanding. After that I went to the tube of King of Shaves, which I quite liked. I have a can of Barbasol foam on hand in case I'm late getting into the shower and need to knock out a quick shave, but otherwise I avoid the cans.
Canned stuff is good when you have no time, it’s pricy, or work marginally, and is not super at anything.
Except blowing up, make mess, if stored in hot car, or in aircraft belly at 35,000 feet.

All my dad used was that Noxzema.
What a corny joke.
