Right now i'm using a few aftershave products and was wondering if anyone has input as to which should get applied first.

Here is my routine:

1. Cold water everything, shave, cold water rinse.

2. Alum block

3. (this one varies) witch hazel or alcohol based splash

4. either the witch hazel or splash (depending on what step 3 was)

5. After shave balm

Does it matter which you apply first? Does applying one before the other (steps 3 and 4) provide any benefit or does it really make no difference at all?
