Finish off with a little aloe vera gel to sooth any irritation. eventually, you may want to go against the grain to get smooth. But definitely go with the grain if you are just starting out. Also, you may want to check out a product called "bump patrol", to avoid any razor bumps. Here's my routine for reference:
Wet head (if in the shower this will be easier)
Headwash by Headblade
Scrub with St. Ives apricot scrub to exfoliate and soften the hair and skin
Headslick and shave with my headblade
rinse head with hot water
apply Aveeno Positively Smooth shave gel
take a 2nd pass with my fusion razor
rinse, and apply aloe vera gel to soothe
Hope this helps...... -

Your routine sounds OK to me -- you may just want to use the Bump Patrol like Dark Knight suggested or an astringent like witch hazel. African Americans are susceptible to razor bumps so it's not a step that I would skip.
You'll also learn by trial and error as you go along.
