After shaving fro 30+ years I've found it comes down to a few simple things.

First, soap soften your beard, so washing your face first is important. Since there is dead skin on your face, some sort of exfoliant works well. I like Nutrogena Razor Defense but have used there are a few other brands in the men's section.

A good razor is important, one that is kept clean. I change mine every two weeks at the very least. Shaving first with the grain and then against gives you a close shave. I just use extra shaving cream from other areas to do that. The cream itself isn't that important. I use regular old Gillette white foam. And let the razor do the work; don't push hard.

Rinsing with warm to cool water closes the skin pores. Don't use hot. Then finish with a mositurizer.
