Is it permissible to wash the face with water and soap and shave the beard with creams and special shaving paste while fasting in Ramadan?

However, shaving the beard is absolutely forbidden, and its prohibition is more severe during Ramadan, as it is an act of ignorance that a fasting person must avoid.
