Inspired by this thread asking why DE razors fell out of popularity, I'll ask a similar question about shaving soap. Why did the canned goo become popular? How bad was the lather people were using, if the canned stuff was better?
I've seen some old-time shaving brushes in the antique stores, and if the pathetic examples that I've seen were typical, we would all be challenged to work up a good lather. And the soaps themselves -- does anyone know how good, or bad, those were?
