That is pretty much it. You have to experiment to see what works for you.

I think Ace had it right in that if your razor is really shave ready, your shaving technique is up to snuff and so is your lather you are pretty much good to go. An elaborate prep routine may just mask any deficiencies in those areas.

Then again some people have very sensitive skin and really do need all the help they can get and of course there is not a thing wrong with an elaborate prep routine if it pleases you to do so.
