Daily Gratitude
Thanks to my mom for recording the whole shave and for being so excited for me! Thanks to u/ShavingInCT for the soap and fragrance. Thanks to my dad for buying the razor. Thanks to my grandma for buying the blades. Thanks to our wonderful judges and other people for putting this whole thing together.

Daily Mistakes
Video is in portrait mode, sorry. I touched down the razor without moving and got cut. I used too much talc and got it everywhere. I thought I wouldn't need the styptic pencil so I already applied talc but I ended up having to use it on top of the talc and it made the talc chunky in that area. I thought I used too much fragrance but it wasn't enough. Lather was hidden in the bottom of the brush so I wasted it.
EDIT: More mistakes, I don't know why the bottom hashtags keep on bolding and why the stuff that is supposed to be bolded up at the reddit markdown won't work

Daily Writeup
First day of my first Lather Games went pretty good! I made it through the hair shaper razor with minimal irritation. I thought this weird B&M finger balm would be pretty bad but it was a pleasant surprise when I tried it. The soap had a great scent and despite how dry it was at first it lathered pretty great and was very slick. The fragrance is pretty light but surprisingly nice, I might apply some more before I head to work. The new brush is pretty nice but I spent like 5 minutes loading with like no moisture so it was super dry and probably not a good representation of the knot.

Daily Theme Points
I have never used any soaps from SBS.

Daily Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance
I have never used a B&M finger balm. I have never used any fragrance from The Zoo Fine Fragrance.

Special Challenge
I have never used a replicable blade straight razor or hair shaper razor.

Hardware Scavenger Hunt
This brush handle is crafted from lignum vitae with a vertical acrylic inlay topped by a matte resin ferrule for #COMPOSITE. The knot is a, "Synthetic that LOOKS like Pure Badger" for #FAUXFUR. The handle is from C&H while the knot is from AP Shave Co making it eligible for #FRANKENBRUSH. This knot is synthetic and cost me $24 before tax and shipping making it #PREMIUMPLASTIC. This brush is advertised as #SHD. I made sure that C&H lofted the knot at 60mm making it #TOLL.

Photo Contest
Hugging a bucket for u/hugbckt.

TL;DR
I win rookie of the year thank you very much give me my prize.
