I wouldn't be able to feel a blade with some of the modern foams if it cut through my cheek and into my tongue! Many shaving foams have anesthetics like lidocaine and xylocaine in them just for that purpose. I also find Gillette foams to be extremely dry and not very slick or cushioning either. I question whether anesthetic usage on a daily basis is even healthy. For the record Barbasol's red label didn't have the heavy anesthetic effect that Gillette's line of foams did. Aveeno is also supposed to be much better than Gillette but I haven't used it to know anything about it.

While I did always find Gillette's shave creams in tubes to be quite useful, many of the canned foams were more artificial than necessary through the history of those, and they predate my own first shaves by several years. I don't have any recollections of Gillette's foams being anywhere in the same ballpark as Barbasol's or Noxzema's. I would try Aveeno, because I like some of their unscented skin creams; but I haven't had the opportunity. Whenever it was in the development of shaving products that various shaving gels appeared, my own experience was that they seemed "more wet" than the common (not Barbasol) shave foams.

I was using Edge brand shave gel during 1993 / 2011, one or another that included some skin conditioners, however, I had not experimented with other brands besides Edge for quite some years prior to shifting onto the Edge and a Sensor six days a week (from the reverse, as an infrequent choice).

I may experiment some with foams and gels from the likes of Nivea and Neutrogena in the future. That remains to be seen.

Neutrogena canned goo isn't "terrible". I used it for the first month with the DE before I took the dive into traditional lather. I would disagree with the lidocaine/xylocaine content of the Gillette gels. If that were the case, it would have to be labled as such and it would be in the ingredients list.

I'd rate plenty of canned gels as better than say Arko Regular cream and Burt's Bees cream.

If your Shark blade was stainless steel, it's a pretty mild blade and I wouldn't expect you'd have problems with most canned stuff.

When I posted a topic many months back about which canned stuff is any good, there were a lot of positive comments about the Fusion gel.
