Shaving cream from a can was designed as a mass production alternative to traditional soaps. It contains alcohol based cream and synthetics that are designed to work specifically with cartridge razors. If you have ever experienced razor burn, inflammation, ingrown hairs and other various forms of discomfort it is usually caused by two things: a dull razor, and/or an alcohol based shaving cream or gel. Our experience is gained from actual daily use from military service. for some, the aerosol can is all they have known, for those that have tried a traditional shave, there is no going back.
