I will cover both - its up to you.
Any pre shave is just there to make the shave more comfortable, I would start with at least some, and then drop it as required.
Any ritual is just there to make the shave more pleasurable, some guys are quite elaborate with what they do, whereas others pretty much just shave and that's it. There are certain things that you can't escape from, ie stropping your razor and lathering up in some manner, it really depends on what you want to do, and thr ammount of time you want to spend doing it.
