Is there any advantage to soap you lather up with a brush in a cup over aerosol shaving cream when using a straight razor or is it strictly about the traditional experience?

Not a time issue just curious if there's really a functional difference - the consensus seems to be that there is. If for some reason I were in a huge hurry I'd use the electric.If the driver for using a can of foamy goo is lack of time, this brushless cream is a good alternative:

Not as good as a Semogue brush and Stirling soap, but it will get the job done.
Barbasol is decent.
