The face is whatever the director has told me to do, though if I'm not doing a show I tend to vacillate between a full beard and a van dyke. Last show was Urinetown, so I was clean shaven while now it's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and I've got the beard.
For shaving, I use a Mach 3. The double-bladed razors always got clogged. The third blade means the back is open rather than having the housing in the way and thus it can get cleared out more easily when rinsing.
I tend to use Edge for the shave gel. My sister got me a very nice block of shaving soap...but no brush to use with it, so it's still sitting in the very nice wooden container.
I don't put anything on afterward.
That said, I generally hate shaving and if I don't have to, I just use an inexpensive beard trimmer to clean up. Leaves stubble, yeah, but that's not an issue if I'm not going to be on stage.
