I basically shave as follows:
warm water, cleanse and gentle exfoliate to open pores and remove dead skin before,
use a cream/whipped cream rather than foam as it’s a bit more moisturising to actually shave,
then rinse with cold water and moisturise - I use a very light moisturiser because even though my skin is a little on the dry side, I’m like you in that I hate feeling greasy or whatever while it soaks in.
