I'm probably not the best person to take advice from on this, but I would think that since he recently fed, you should be OK with wrapping him (loosely!) in a warm & damp kitchen towel (larger than a washcloth, smaller than a bath towel), and letting him wriggle his way out of it. This will moisten him up some while providing a soft surface to rub against that will hopefuly aid in removing some of the shed. In a day or two, after he's digested his food (look for a nice poop in his home), soak him for 30 minutes or so in a dish or small tub of tepid water, but keep an eye on him to make sure he's safe. The water should come about 1/2-way to 2/3 of the way up his sides.

You might want to wait for some more reliable advice, but I think this would be a good place to start... Good luck!
