How to build a simple men's skincare routine for dry, post-shave skin

[MarkTJ]

I'm in my late thirties and for the first time, I'm noticing fine lines and persistent dryness, especially after shaving. My current routine is just a bar of soap and whatever moisturizer my wife has in the cabinet, which clearly isn't cutting it. I want to establish a simple but effective men's skincare routine that I can actually stick to. For guys who have built a routine from scratch, what are the essential products and steps you started with? How do you find a moisturizer that doesn't feel greasy and works well under sunscreen, and what's a good approach to incorporating an exfoliant or serum without irritating sensitive skin? Are there any specific ingredients I should look for to address early signs of aging and post-shave redness?
