I plan to use and review a number of canned creams this month. I have these and a few others for my shaves for Canary. This is off the top of my head, I have others I can add or subtract.

All those are canned shave creams? I had no idea! I did get a can of Barbasol for a quick Menthol fix. This is one of the reasons I like TSD - Acceptance of carts, cans, methods, & techniques.
I had no idea that any of those canned creams existed. The only stuff I've heard of are the creams that you can find at a convenience store, such as Edge gel, Gillette, and Barbasol. I still use canned stuff when traveling and intermittently for a few other reasons, so these reviews would be helpful.
After reading your post I gave the list a more than cursory look and you are correct. There are some good creams that I would not consider "canned". Gotta edit my original post....
"Canned" doesn't mean pressurized in this case. More emphasis on "Cream" as in non-triple milled soap?
When the artisan craze hit. .."........I took the one less traveled by," I have always used a brush for shaving , my dad used one with Noxzema tube cream, so I did too. I have tons of traditional creams and soaps and love them also and they give me great shaves. But..... the cans intrigue me for some reason. Those are some of the designer cans of my favorite fragrances; I also have others like Noxzema, Barbasol, Foamy, SMN, Proraso, etc. I have a particular fondness for travel sized cans. What a freak, huh?
Wow! It will be interesting to follow your progress. Do you plan to hold everything else in your routine and set up constant to eliminate as many variables as possible? Will your product reviews be based on single or multiples uses? (I'm assuming single use since you have so many to review in a month.) In my experience, I need to use a product a few times before I'm ready to give a thumbs up or down.
For DE razors I have a Future, Fatboy, Vision, Mergress. I use only GSB blades. For carts I primarily use M3, Fusion, Wilkinson Sword Protector3. I apply the cream with a brush and do a 4 pass shave.
I'm curious as to how you managed to find some of these creams. I tried looking up the Cool Water cream but all I'm seeing are aftershave balms and splashes. If you were able to take a picture of your setup to accompany each review, that would be nice. This should be an interesting thread.
Wow, 25 aerosol shave products and you don't have a single one of the common ones on that list! I've never even heard of any of them, at least not as shaving foams/gels! This is going to be interesting. Good thing you let us know your plans a few days early; it gives me time to get the popcorn...
