Shave at night: Usually hot water wash, build lather in bowl, take time, do it right, end with Alum, WH, un-scented balm. Cologne the next morning. Probably use a soap as they just seem to feel right.
Shave in the morning: Shower, Face lather, shave, rinse, Alum, WH if needed, Balm if needed. Aftershave. Probably use a cream (currently TOBS Jermyn St) as it seems quicker to load and use.
Usually shave the night before a "big event" so that the redness is gone... however this is becoming less of an issue now I've switched from carts and am getting a better handle on which product works best for me. Wouldn't have believed that it would make so much of a difference but am currently re-visiting some blades I'd discounted before and getting some OK shaves.
