Old Hippie

Somewhere between 61 and dead
NYSOTD: Wednesday January 1, 2025
Razor: Kasho Woody/RazoRock Superslant L3++OC
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink (4)/Dorco Prime (3)
Brush: Omega 10005
Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing

This year I get a shave on Day One; cool. :) The Woody's a comfortable razor to hold and use as I get more used to it. The Kai blade is still sharp, though I think to detect that it may finally be mellowing a bit.

First use today of the TFS soap. Very nice! Thanks for the recommendation, @Marco!

O.H.
