I discovered it first by accident when I ran out of canned and found my step-dad's unused brush kit. The hot water is soothing and softens the beard quite nicely. It is also extremely thrifty: a bar of high quality soap costs about $2.49 and lasts about a year and a half! I bought my last brush in Italy at a flea market, pure boar bristle, in a celluloid handle, new, about 7 years ago. I lather up to shave with a brush and shaving soap in a cup.
