1- Face prep starts with a wash cloth and face soap. I clean the oils and dirt off my face before shaving. I figure no reason to drag this dirt into the fresh skin after blade exfoliation. I usually use Neutrogena but occasional an anti-bacterial soap. Shower
2- I wipe the blade clean, rinse with very hot water, and strop on linen and then leather prior to shaving. After shaving so I guess that's prior to shaving too
3- I use a sponge to avoid the faucet chips. Every other day I put the damp sponge in the microwave and blast it for about 4 minutes to make sure nothing grows there.Ain't got time for that
4- After shave I use Alum, rinse, moisturize, and then use an alcohol splash. The new skin is sealed. Every few weeks I'll run a witch hazel pad over my face to check everything is squeaky clean.I use Alum if I cut myself, my skin is oily so no need for me to moisturize, And yes please alcohol splash! Witch hazel is great for cleaning your face!
5- I rinse, wipe, and strop the blade before putting it away. Yes please, see #6 I do this every time minus the mineral oil
6- Periodically I run the blade under extremely hot water, dry carefully, pour rubbing alcohol on the blade, dry carefully, and mineral oil the blade to store. See #5
7- The brush gets soaked each shave in very hot water. At the end of the shave, I rinse thoroughly and shake the water before hanging the brush bristles down to dry. Once every two months I use a pea sized amount of human shampoo and conditioner to give the dirty badger a good wash and rinse . Rinse, shake, then hang or stand - never gave my dirty badger a wash, so that falls under, ain't got time for that :P
