That's the best use for that crap-in-a-can...it's not suitable for shaving with. (I prefer shaving soap or quality cream).

I just tried shaving in the shower for the first time, and it wasn't that bad. I did what Buster suggested and just lathered up the mirror I used, and even though it fogged up on me twice a quick rinse made the fog go away for a few minutes, so it was relatively easy. Not sure whether it's the old mirror I used or the Barbasol, but it wasn't a big pain in the ass.

And whomever suggested shaving in the shower was easier, they were right. I used a cheapo razor that my dad uses and I had no problems with it. When I shaved before getting in the shower, I always used to go semi-slow, and that would lead to a lot of yanked hairs and other spots, but I had no such problems in the shower. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't done it yet, it really makes it easier, at least in my experience.
