Simpson Duke 3 in Best today.

I regularly use T&H Almond cream and Taylor's Sandalwood in my rotation. I am very low in both right now as I have used up all my stash. Need to buy some more and I've been looking at some alternatives as I have read that quality has dropped since I last purchased? Thoughts?

I only have 3 brushes in my rotation and 2 of them are Simpson. I have a Chubby 2 in Super that I use for creams and a Duke 3 in Best for soaps. They are outstanding brushes and do the job well. My third brush is a Savile Row that handles soaps and creams equally well. I don't think you can go wrong...

Caron's The Third Man

1 1/2 oz Bourbon
1 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/2 oz honey syrup made by combining 1 part honey with 1 part hot water.

Mix in mixing glass with ice, strain and pour into coupe glass, garnish with orange zest after expressing oils over drink.

Well I ordered a few. Chanel Pour Monsieur, Caron The Third Man, Gucci Homme II, Guerlain Homme and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. The first two arrived and I like both a lot. Thanks to you guys for your recommendations.

The Boulevardier

1 1/2 oz Bourbon or Rye (higher proof preferred)
1 oz Campari
1 oz Sweet Vermouth

Stir in a mixing glass filled with ice to dilute a bit, strain and pour into a chilled coupe. Garnish with orange zest after expressing oils over drink.

So what are the thoughts regarding Dior Homme?

It's been a while since I've been on the forum and have lost touch with what's going on in the fragrance world. I am looking for a good signature fragrance that I can use year round and is appropriate for my big fine( :^o ) 66 year old body. I have been using Creed's Bois du Portugal but I find it a...

Been away for a while and looking forward to getting back in the grove. I've gotten a bit older and have become a little more fixed in what I like but that doesn't mean that I don't need advice. I still be asking for plenty from you learned gentlemen.

Congrats!!!

Great photo Gene.

Had to show these shots of a MEAN little female Ruby Throat Hummingbird guarding the feeder after running off every male that attempts to get a little drink. I will now stop with the bird photos. http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac204/Davdini/IMG_0688_zps072c2a4e.jpg http://i900.photobucket.com/al...

Very nice indeed Gene.

Ok. I'll post a few. I pretty much limit my photos to things around my hobbies and I certainly don't claim to be very good at it. Here are a few shots of the gardens and birds here at Happily EverAfter. http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac204/Davdini/th_IMG_0479_zpsbefe7938.jpg http://i900.photobuc...

The ONLY difference between Tennessee whiskey and bourbon is the fact that the whiskey goes through a charcoal filter process. This is not done to bourbons. it is called the Lincoln county process.

Welcome to SMF.

Netflix's House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey is back. Picks up just where things were left last year. The entire first season and the new one is available for streaming on Netflix right now. Though not as entertaining to me as the original British version it none the less provides some quality vie...

That's a loss. He was quite a talented actor. I think I enjoyed every thing that I saw him in.

Great post Gordon.
