Lately, on advice here, I've been shaving before my shower and getting very good results. However, I have a question. Before, shaving after the shower, I would of course finish the shave with aftershave, lotion, and Clubman powder before heading off to breakfast. Now, naturally, anything I put on before stepping under the spray will get rinsed off; and so I apply those 3 substances after the shower.
Does it make any sense from a skincare perspective, though, to at least splash on a little aftershave before the shower? I tend to use lukewarm water for the shave, and to treat my face and throat with cold water post-shave. So I don't think my warm-to-hot shower water will irritate my face and throat. At least it hasn't yet. But would a little aftershave be good for me?
