Your skin takes longer to puff up from water than the hair does to get soft, so not necessarily. But, if one is susceptible to ingrown hairs, you don't want a really close shave, anyway, it just makes it worse.
I am getting the Mr. some of that Zirh shaving oil, though. I've heard a number of times that, for people with really coarse curly beards and fragile skin, preparing the skin with oil is the only way to go.
