Hi Lo: Those soaps that I listed above are top notch and leave your skin fully moisturized and feeling great.

Soap if definitely better because it loosens the pores. It works best when applied with a shaving brush. Trust me, once you try a shaving soap, you will never look at foams and gels the same again. Good luck!

Lo-
I'm all about shave soaps. I haven't used any canned stuff in a long time.
Cella is my favorite. I'm also a big fan of RazoRock shave soaps. Mike's Natural soaps are very nice but he is out of stock often.
I brush is a must for these soaps. You can buy a cheap brush at Wally World for about $6. I recommend a nicer brush. You can buy a nice brush for around $20.
You can find Cella and the RazoRock soaps at
www.italianbarber.com. They also have a large choice of brushes. They are in Canada but don't worry about that. Their service is excellent. They have outstanding products at very fair prices. I usually get my orders in about 4-5 days.

Shave soap is definitely the way to go. There's a bit of a learning curve with making a nice lather, but it's so infinitely better for your skin than anything in a can or with aerosol.
As for brushes, I recommend starting with a badger brush. With shave brushes you're going to need a stand to hang it upside down so it can drip dry.

Crap in a can isn't a patch on a real shaving soap, as above, buy a brush, you do not need to spend £50, my cheap one lathers exactly the same as the £50 one my brother in law gave me!
