Funny how you say it works for you and so many are offering alternatives!
Here's another one.:D
I use aloe right from my plant as part of my aftershave. You could try using it as a pre-shave lubricant. Just cut an aloe leaf from the plant store it in your bathroom. Before you shave, use a knife to cut about a half inch off of the leaf. Rub it between your palms, remove the couple of green bits, and rub the rest on your face. It dries eventually but it should stay moist long enough for your shave.
