The need for it varies greatly from person to person. I personally don’t use anything and have never felt a need for it, but I have friends for whom aftershave products (I couldn’t tell you if they’re alcohol based or not) do reduce razor burn and the like.
Probably something that still depends on the person. If your problem is irritation, probably not if it’s not a moisturizing soap. If you have issues with it immediately turning into pimples and such, I’m sure cleaning it will greatly help with preventing that.

Would just washing your face produce a similar effect?
