    My routine:
    - Wash face with a face soap and warm water.
    - Soak my small towel on hot water
    - Apply the towel on my face (sometimes I do a little massage)
    - Clean the soap remnants with the towel.
    - I then apply Noxzema to my face. (feels so good)
    - After the Noxzema, I start to build my lather on my face (without cleaning the cream) it works wonders! then I shave.
    - I use cold water to rinse my face and then a towel to dry.
    - Splash a bit of mentholated alcohol on my face to prevent any infection.
    - I let it dry
    - Then I use my Alum solution (Alum powder dissolved in water) and let it rest for a while.
    - Clean with a towel
    - Apply my aftershave balm
    - Smile!

    Wash
    Shave
    Rinse

    I'm not looking to complicate a game of snap here - just remove whiskers and dead skin.
