A little background: I started wetshaving over a decade ago, bought a razor, blades, brush, all kinds of creams, etc. I still wetshave...but with regular Gillette shaving foam that I buy at the supermarket. Why? Because no matter what cream I try, what method I use, what videos I watch, etc....I have never been able to get a lather that works anywhere near as well as the Gillette foam in a can. The foam comes out thick, sticky, and fluffy, with large peaks; I can almost feel/see the hairs on my beard being suspended upright in it. But when I use a shaving cream, it's usually too wet and thin, no matter what I do.
I just need to know--is it even possible to get a shaving cream to generate a lather that's similar to a foam out of a can? Or is it just not a possible thing, due to the fact that foam in the can has aerosols etc that give it almost an unfair advantage?
