  Great shave. In terms of today’s theme, it’s all in the name, isn’t it.

  I can’t believe that LG is already almost over again!

  Theme: Proraso Red is a dry, warm, slightly dirty sandalwood scent.

  Relevant post and frag: Both the post and frag are completely sandalwood-forward frags. I smell like dry twigs on a sunny patch of forest floor.

  Challenge: It would be a bit unethical for me to answer since I now the current rankings. Well, now I do, but I knew this challenge would come, and I answered today’s challenge on day 1, before I had relevant knowledge. Here’s my answer:

  • Main ROTY will go to u/MudAccording. He’s going full hog right out of the gate. The other two roty prizes are random so your guess is as good as mine.
  • photocontest goes to u/Crossan1983, that black and white shot looks well set up, like he means business.
  • FoF u/Hugbckt: Great write-up, someone to watch.
  • LG goes to u/Tsrblke. He was a joy to follow last year, and this first post looks like he’s full of energy this year, plus, he has that racing team!
  • No Scruba: The real winner here is going to be everyone (awww!) I’m looking forward to u/Enndeegee’s no scrub list, and dread his scrub list.

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (17)
  • Lather: Proraso - Red - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - EdT

  Proraso Red is the only soap I have, that I know of, that has any sandalwood in it at all. Luckily it’s all sandalwood, so there’s no question about it meeting the requirements of today’s theme.
