I keep seeing comments by some people that they don't care for post shave feel imparted by shaving soaps. They feel that is not the job of the soap to impart emolliency. They feel that the can recover, heal, moisturize and repair skin barrier damage caused by the blade and the harsh shaving soap (surfactant) ex post facto!
The combination of blades touching the skin and soap will cause damage to the skin. To me it makes sense to protect the skin before hand. Shelling statements follow
Use a Mositurizing preshave (I make one) and soap that decrease TEWL. Protect your skin before the damage is incurred.
Here are some comments from a doctor! There is a great of deal of research on this topic! I’m working on other post to show how historically cosmetologist, formulator and dermatologist and mega corporation created surfactants which you find mostly in shampoos, face washes and syndet bars to deal with soap harshness.
==================
During cleansing, micelles are created with external hydrophilic groups surrounding an internal lipophilic pocket. These micelles can surround oily substances, such as sebum, dispersing the oil in water for removal and rinsing. Unfortunately, the micelles can also surround the oily intercellular lipids, damaging the skin barrier.
The bipolar structure of skin soils is similar to the fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides comprising the lipid bilayers of the stratum corneum.
Mildness is important because cleanser-induced barrier damage increases transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and facilitates removal of natural moisturizing factor, which acts as a sponge to hold water in the skin.
This dehydration leads to alterations in stratum corneum function leading to desquamatory failure with increased corneocyte retention. This is the mechanism by which cleansers induce the rough scaly skin.

Tomorrow, I'll post about the mechanical process of shaving and how it impacts the skin.
It's a really interesting question related to razors and efficiency. What does a BBS do to the skin. When hair is cut that close, what happens to the surrounding skin layers? What happens when one repeatedly goes over certain areas to remove hair. If you get a microscope and look at the lather on the razor: it's full of tissue that is removed along with hair, regardless of the type of blade or razor or the type of pre/soap one uses!

are you saying that because I only do 1 pass, with a DE razor, that when I'm 75, my face will still look like I'm 33?

It depends! Check out this video for another thing that causes skin damage. My favorite part is when he starts talking about Anti-aging stuff
which I believe is the snake oil of all cosmetic products.https://youtu.be/Cf7Ar3nEUmw
