Why shave after showering?

That's the ABC of shaving. That is what I would call the most important part of shaving. The reason for that is because when you are in your shower, you are usually showering with hot water. Hot water is the most important product to use to get a close shave. And what that does is very interesting. To get a close shave, we say that preparation is half the shave. What you want to do in able to get a close shave without razor burn, with no bumps, no ingrown, all those things that men complain about, is to shave with the grain. Shave with the grain, but you also need to prepare your skin properly. You need to have your pores very loose, your hair as soft as possible and your hair as raised away from the skin as possible. What the hot water does is basically starts the preparation process. What the hot water does is, while you are in the shower, is just like naturally loosening up the pores and it's starting to soften the hair. It's basically doing the work for you, and you don't have to really suffer and add two or three minutes to do it yourself with a hot towel or something like that. I always recommend to shave in the shower, particularly if you don't have time.
