Have a good night!

Sandalwood Saturday, The Penultimate Challenge

- Razor: Eversharp-Schick Hydro-magic (I2, NOS)

- Lather: Proraso – Sandalwood

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.

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.
