Lately, I've been living it up. My wife got me an "Art of Shaving" kit, with which I 1) apply shaving oil, then 2), apply suds the old fashioned way with a badger-hair brush, and then 3) shave with a Harry's 5 blade razor. All in the shower after getting my face warmed up and wetted for a couple of minutes. After the shower, I apply Art of Shaving aftershave cream.
And the truth is, my face is a lot happier than the many years I just soaped up with the bar of whatever was in the shower that day. Of it all, I think the pre-oil probably helps the most - the rest may just be fluff.
You can usually find good deals on the starter kits, but here's the sites if you're interested:
