I know how this might sound, but I've had great success with Johnson's and Johnson's baby oil. I've got the kids and the stuff was sitting on the tub sill..Curious, I tried it pre shave. It was amazing. It lubricated the skin just enough to provide a gentle shave without that greasy feeling after. I'll typically shower and massage a pea sized amount onto my face while I hygiene the rest of my body. The oil is a very gentle agent and does not clog or irritate the pores. Good luck!
