Some great questions.
The first thing I will say is - use what works, and experiment to see if something is working better. If you have a routine that works for you and you are happy with the results and experience, there's no need to get fancy.
That being said, as a recommendation, I'd say non-alcoholic aftershave is a must. It helps soothe your skin after basically having a layer of it ripped off, lessens irritation, and acts as an astringent as well.
There are two products in this category that I like - alum blocks and liquid aftershaves.
Alum blocks are a piece of mineral that, when wet, you can rub onto your face and will help close up nicks and act as an astringent. Bloc Osma is the most popular brand, but it's also more expensive than some others. I've found great results with the RazoRock which I've found at half the price.
In terms of liquid aftershaves, almost anything that's non-alchoholic works well. If you can shell out the cash, I recommend Trumper's Coral Skinfood. This stuff smells great, feels amazing on the skin and is one of the few products that really and visibly reduces razor burn for me. I know it's expensive, but this stuff lasts! All you need is two or three drops on the face and rub it in. That's it. I've had the same bottle for over a year now.
As for pre-shaves, it really depends on the skin. I personally don't use any of that. I find as long as you properly prepare your face before the shave with a nice hot towel, it's unnecessary. Maybe if you have very very coarse hair it makes a difference, but I have yet to see it after trying many products.
And as for oils, I'd stay away. It makes my face impossibly greasy, and simply is not a good shave compared to your good old cream.
Hope this information helped. If you have anything else you'd like to ask, go right ahead!
