Sandalwood Saturday, The Penultimate Challenge

  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BADGER (Silvertip) #SUBBROOSH
  • Razor: Eversharp-Schick Hydro-magic (I2, NOS)
  • Blade: Personna Injector Blade
  • Lather: Proraso โ€“ Sandalwood
  • Post Shave: Taylor of Old Bond Street โ€“ Sandalwood
  • Fragrance: Le Labo โ€“ Santal 33

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 know 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.
