Your whiskers get softer after you've been in the shower for a few minutes. If you don't want to shower first, just prep by washing your face with a mild glycerin soap first. Keep your whiskers wet for two or three minutes before you rinse and start shaving.
I’ve been shaving first for over 45 years. I splash hot water on my face and wash it. Then while it’s wet, I brush my teeth. While it’s hydrating still, I build my lather.
I shower afterwards to thoroughly wash the soap off my face without making a mess of the sink. My shaves have always been close and smooth.
