I just shower and shave too, or if I am shaving several hours after my shower because I want to try a new edge, I just wash with soap and water. I hold the warm wash cloth (flannel) against my face for 10 seconds or so after then have at it.

I did try pre shave once or twice when I first started with a straight because I read somewhere that people do it but to be honest it was too much trouble and I don't have any problem shaving without it.
