I usually take a hot shower before I shave to prep my face, then get out and immediately lather up and start shaving. Once I got all ready to shower, and my wife called me in to tell me something. I wrapped a towl around my waist and went in and talked to her for about ten minutes and walked back into the bathroom, lathered up and got through my first pass with the razor thinking "man, this is rough", before realizing I had forgotten to shower.
