Razor: GEM 1912
Blade: CVS carbon-steel SE blade
Brush: Synthetic
Lather: Williams soap
Post-shave: Alum, Japanese A/S balm, Aloe Vera Gel

So after a month and a half or so of not shaving I decided the beard looked ready to go. Thought about using clippers to mow it down a bit, but came to the conclusion that with the right equipment that would not be needed. So here it is.
Open Comb Micro Matic (gold tone)
Pella D-1
VDH Boar
Williams Mugg Shave Soap
Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
This was a great shave. Little extra redness at the bottom of neck. I get that sometimes even on a daily shave. If you need to chop a heavy thick beard down this is the way to go.

Wednesday
Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf
Blade: GEM Stainless SE blade
Brush: Synthetic
Lather: Williams soap
Post-shave: Styptic, Alum, Japanese A/S balm,
Result: DFS+. Great first shave with my "new" Clog-Pruf. Two little nicks reminded me that it's still a micromatic, not a 1912!
