My first use of Saturday Morning. I bought this tub off u/EldrormR on a whim. I get a lot of sweet orange from the soap, almost OJ, hence the combination with orange-forward post and frag. I guess I need to get a box of Froot Loops now!

I shaved 10 hours ago, but didn't get to post until now.

Made some progress on my Shaving Data System project. Now it's more secure and requires a login to log SOTD's. I also fixed some functionality with SOTD picture links - if you include one it gets formatted to a markdown link, and if you don't include one it just prints the date.

This shave went pretty well! @[email protected]'s edge felt nice and I can sense my skillz improving. Closeness still isn't quite there, but I'm armed with the knowledge that that'll come with time.
