In my experience most modern shave soap has enough
extra oil that if one wiped the blade with alcohol then shaved
nothing special need be done with a two blade rotation beyond
getting it fully dry and clean when done. Others have
not had the "luck" I have -- perhaps it is my selection of soaps...

To the best of my knowledge you cant get barbicide in single use wipes I would suggest making a solution and putting it in a bottle and just using a cotton swab. Because barbicide is so corrosive I would say its in your best interest to oil your razor after treating your blade.

You should only need to leave the barbicide on your razor for 5 min after treating your razor I would suggest rinsing it with water to make sure there isnt any barbicide left in the crevasses between the razor and the scales and then applying a light coat of oil.
