I would finish up with an aftershave cream rather than liquid aftershave. My dad used good old-fashioned Avon Moisture Cream. Shaving after a shower is the most effective shave prep I know. As you gain experience, you will learn from memory to shave in the right places at the right angles rather than press hard against your face, and your face will thank you by feeling energized rather than chapped. I have sensitive skin too.
