Leave on while shampoo hair and wash then rinse off. Out of shower dry everything except face. Use AOS sandlewood pre-shave oil. Use silver tip badger brush soaked in sink with hot tap water. Shake out excess water. Then use Proraso shaving creme/soap the oatmeal and tea small tub. After swirling on brush tips mix with AOS/glycerine in now hot stainless bowl till peaks form on my brush. Lather face, shave, lather again shave and sometimes do 3rd pass. Afterward, rinse with cold water, then witch hazel (Dickenson's) and then Alum block. Then use after shave balm (Busheron or AOS Lavender or Sandlewood) Then a cologne of some sort. Afterwards go back to bed from being exhausted from shaving.......just kidding. Makes for a great day
