I use some high quality hand creams before I go to bed on my face. This does a couple of things like make the morning shave awesome and also makes any moisturizer that is used during the day more effective. A lot of shaving soaps tend to dry the skin specially non-tallow types. Moisturizers tend to be a little light and, for me, is not really enough. I like Nivea Extreme Comfort after a shave and it works very well for me and is not very expensive.

Take Care,
