What is the main action in the 'preparation' step of shaving?

Applying aftershave
Applying shaving lather
Rinsing with water
Trimming the hair

The correct answer is: Applying shaving lather

In the 'preparation' step of shaving, the main action is applying shaving lather. This helps to soften and moisturize the hair, making it easier to cut and preventing irritation or nicks. Option A, applying aftershave, is typically done after shaving and is used to soothe and disinfect the skin. Option C, rinsing with water, is also typically done after shaving to remove any remaining lather or hair. Option D, trimming the hair, is typically done in a separate step before shaving to shorten the hair and make it easier to shave.
