After wearing Emerald Spice for a few hours now, I have to say I do like the subtle scent that is left on my face at mid-day. I doubt it still has any projection left, but overall it's pretty nice.
I'm happy to hear that you like it!

ZergoZatgai has a thread where he describes something he called Orange Spice. It's a mix of (roughly) 1 part Florida Water and 2 parts Old spice. It's amazing how strong Florida Water is as a scent, it really takes a lot of spice to be noticeable. I've mixed some witch hazel in with mine, and it's now a regular go-to AS for me.
Hoping to bump this up to get some more recipies to try.
Looking at Appleton Barber Supply - but was wondering if there is another option (B&B vendor) that sells Masters, Osage Rub, Gabels and the Clubman products for decent price. Appleton's is great for price - but shipping cost is about 1/2 of what I was going to order, but it is liquid weight.
Thank you Daniel for the comments and the alternate source. Really want to mix up a few of the Bootlegger recipes here (Bay Rum, Artic Freeze, Lime Bay Rum, El Dorado).If you want Masters, Jeris, Gabels and Clubman, Appleton's is your best bet, in my opinion. Especially if you're looking for some of the discontinued Masters aftershaves, since they still seem to have some stock. And they also have the full Stephan line. What they don't stock is Lustray if you had any interest in that. Atlanta Barber & Beauty Supply does have Lustray and a few things that Appleton doesn't stock. But it seems they may have gotten out of the Masters market, at least according to their website.
I was going to write that Appleton's shipping isn't too bad if you put together a large enough order. But I see now that they recently raised the shipping cost to $13 for orders under $95, and $6 over. I guess I can't blame them too much. My last order weighed at least 25 pounds and they shipped it for $5. I think the rate used to be $10 for orders under $85.
This was posted before by someone else: one part Amber Floid and one part Old Spice. They blend well together and the Old spice gives it some staying power. I use it frequently.
Also @Vez, you had a AV & Florida Water that was interesting.
