I have been using some aloe based shea butter from this company, before, during and after shaving. I find it very good in small amounts before to act as a pre shave emoliant; during, when I find a stubborn spot or two (usually around the moustace line of at the base of my throat); and after as a skin conditioner. I do not use it with every shave, but once in awhile Good stuff!

I've recently discovered the wonders of shea butter. It's perfect for shaving with its moisturizing & anti-inflammatory properties. I strongly suggest Institut Karite shave soap - it has 25% shea butter content. Makes excellent lather and is moisturizing and protective enough that 9 times out of 10 I don't even need a post shave product.
