My routine:
1. Final Pass Complete
2. Face wash with excess cream or soap from the mug and/or milked out of the brush
3. Cold Water Rinse
4. Dampen Alum Block and apply to wet face
5. Let alum dry down while I brush my teeth
6. Cold Water Rinse to remove excess alum (my face is normally good and tight at this point)
7. Apply Nivea ASB and Aftershave du jour
8. Let dry down while I clean up the area and give the razor 50 laps on the strop
9. Apply cologne or other finish (if desired)
