1. Shave after a hot bath or use a hot towel (to open pores, for flexible hair)
2. After shaving, clean with cold water (to close pores and reduce irritation)
3. Apply some drops of thistle oil or non water-resistant sun lotion (15)
Thistle oil has no smell, is less acidic on the skin and has more healthy fats. You can also use it to make your shoes shine. I use virgin and cold extracted Coconot or Thiste oil as replacement for butter too. Having 1-2 Tablespoon of oil every morning is healthy and helps to burn fat. Contrary to what most believe, fat is healthy and helps men to keep their hormone levels table, for those who lift it helps to increase the testosterone levels. Alternatively use sun lotion, but be careful with sun lotion, the 15+ cremes contain Bisphenol A, Parabenes etc. some even cause allergies or increase irritation. However when you find a brand that works for you, it makes your skin appear younger due to the reduced UV penetration and the included oils. Just avoid sun lotion sprays they have worse quality.
