Daily Gratitude
Thanks to u/KerblimeySkal for the soap sample. Thanks to ShavinginCT for the fragrance sample. Thanks to EldrormR for including some free blades with my MM24. Thanks to our wonderful judges and other people for putting this whole thing together.

Daily Mistakes
None, I am perfect.

Daily Writeup
Just got done playing Hypixel Skyblock for like 15 hours so it's a late shave and writeup lol. Not much to say about the shave today. Soap is good, not anything special but definitely good. The fragrance smells terrible, I thought I would enjoy it based off of scent notes and because it's kind of jazz themed but yeah it's bad.

Daily Theme Points
Daddy Longlegs is advertised as a 1920s barbershop scent.

Daily Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance Points
Everyone knows Pinaud Clubman aftershave as the absolute classic when it comes to barbershops, almost every barbershop in America has been using Pinaud Clubman for decades, including my barbershop. As for the fragrance I thought I would go for a matching 1920s themed Jazzy almost Barbershop quartet kind of thing, name and the description are pretty nice and relevent because I'm a total band kid but the scent is terrible! But it also has some citrus which is generally considered a barbershop scent.

Daily Challenge
uh... 3%. I got stuck on Barrister and Mann. But I got AA Wapiti right first try! It was the only one I could remember.

Hardware Scavenger Hunt
No new hashtags because I'm too lazy to change razors and have to make new hashtags, I just copy paste. If you want to see my reasoning for these hashtags look at my previous SOTDs.

Photo Contest
Hobby, this is my first of 2 Bauer Lites, this one with Vertex V1 switches and Drop + biip MT3 Extended 2048 Dark keycaps.

TL;DR
I win rookie of the year thank you very much give me my prize. Except I don't know soap names off the top of my head.
