shaving

I use an electric shaver and would like some advice regarding skin care.
There are shavers that moisturise the skin whilst shaving. Is it healthy for the skin to have such products massaged into the skin fairly vigorously and continuously? Does it promote anti ageing (aging)?
Would you recommend preshaving lotions and post shaving creams? Is it neccessary to use expensive post shaving creams?
What is your advise re healthy electric shaving in general?

Thank you, Sam

Whether you use pre- or post-shaving lotios is entirely up to you, and so is the choice of which ones.  It doesn't matter, to anti-aging or anythiung else.  Just pick the shaver and creams that feel good, and use them if you like them.  There are no health consequences one way or another, so there's no need to spend a lot of money.

Best.
