One big drawback of canned foam is that the available fragrances and both uninterested and limited in range. I know that some men will say “Fragrance doesn’t matter,” but I’m pretty sure if a shaving soap or canned foam had a fresh feces fragrance they would not want to use it. So fragrance in fact does matter, and it’s good to have a fragrance that you can fully enjoy and thus that enhances the pleasure of the shave. (My inner Epicurean peeks out here, insecurely hidden behind my outer Epicurean.)
Cologne Russe is a very nice fragrance indeed, and the G.B.Kent Infinity easily created the lather I wanted. The redoubtable Baili BR171 gave its usual wonderful shave, comfortable and efficient. I think for introducing men to DE shaving I should keep several of these on hand: at $6 each, they are certainly inexpensive enough, and of course I save on shipping by ordering several at one time (always a handy rationalization).
Three passes and a splash of Cologne Russe on my smooth face, a great start for a new day.
