I like to do it after, because the skin is softer and moist, and your less likely to cut yourself.

It never seems to make a diff for me. Maybe if you take a loooong, hot steamy shower, and start shaving right afterwards, your stubble would still be waterlogged and softer, but I've never actually noticed this.

... with an electric shaver, BEFORE ... ... with a blade razor, AFTER ... The big difference between blade & electric is this : you want the beard stubble to be as stiff as possible for an electric and you want the beard stubble to be as soft as possible for a blade ...

If you're using a razor, then it's best to shave after a hot shower. In the past when people would get a shave at the barbers, the barber would wrap a warm moist cloth on your face to open your pours and make the skin smooth, which makes it easier to cut.
