My vote would be to use the alum before the aftershave...and my rational is to seal the face as much as possible before putting anything on your face that contains alcohol.

My post shave ritual is cold water rinse followed by alum block rub, pat dry, Trumper's Skin Food (or the moisturizer of your choice), then any aftershave or cologne.

If you throw on aftershave right after shaving it can burn like hell.
