Or experiment with a very inexpensive boar brush like the $8 VDH brush.

Start with a common shampoo conditioner or detangler.

If I was convinced that something would help I would look for a hyper-fatted
shave soap. One with extra oil for those with dry skin or in need for a slicker shave.

My boar brush experience is that they soften with use.
The difference between the first use and half way through
a puck of Williams is noticeable. Thus I recommend an
afternoon practicing lathering with Williams in a bowl.
