My routine is:

Cold water rinse
Refrigerated Witch Hazel
Alcohol Based A/S
Balm - (I use Cornhuskers lotion with Essential oils I add myself, very cheap)

I did see a a video on B&B when he got a professional barber straight shave. At the end the barber put both the A/S and Balm together in his palm and rubbed it in at the same time. I might try it!
