For shaving...don't use shaving foam. It gums up the razor and defeats the purpose. Use a little shampoo lathered up in your hands with hot water....works like a charm, and the razor stays absolutely clean! Shaving foam is a totally useless and overpriced product that should be done away with. Don't use aftershave either. It's equally useless, and it stinks. I never use it, and I've been shaving since the early 70's. No ill effects yet.
