I'm still waiting for all of my shave kit components to arrive so I've been doing a lot of reading here during the wait. I've read a lot about building a lather and such and during my morning shave I got to wondering, how should the lathers that I'll be building with either a cream or a soap compare to what I'm using from the can? (I currently use Edge Gel) I guess I'm wondering how it should compare in feel and consistency. Is it going to be more wet? more dry? fluffier? lighter? thicker? thinner? etc... or is it going to be relatively the same in consistency? It's probably been a long time since many of you here have used a canned cream but for me, it's going to be my only reference point. When I start whipping up my own lathers, what should I be aiming for when comparing it to the lather I get from a can? (I hope this post makes sense! )
