Just a thought
Good idea.

Also consider a roll of paper tape -- "Micropore Surgical Paper Tape"
prior to the shave put one wrap on the working fingers. It should give
you sufficient grip and be water proof enough to finish the shave.

I do not know what razor you have but you can apply a wrap or two
to the grip of the razor for the duration of the shave. Remove it when done shaving....
Even blue masking tape can be used for the 15-20 min it takes to shave.
Just apply and remove it with care... the blade is sharp and not
designed to make adding and removing tape easy.

Also if rust is a concern -- do not ignore the properties of tuff-glide
as rust preventative.

Mineral oil is very kind to the skin and can help keep
rust from the blade as well as minimize your skin cracking... I
As a good rust preventative to apply to the steel after removing the tape.
Wipe off the excess with a soft cloth.

As always consult a doctor -- I do not even play one on TV.

Aftershave that burns is not high on my list consider skipping
it and apply the thinnest layer of mineral oil.
