Thanks for jumping on the SSL issue! This was what was keeping me from exploring your site further. I know I haven't been involved in this thread so far, but I have been following it. Your website looks very interesting and promising. I will definitely be checking it out!

great. I sent you a PM with some more suggestions..

Alex, your site has already come in handy for me.  I happened to look up rose scented soaps the other day and noticed that Chiseled Face Sherlock Shaving Soap was listed under that scent profile.  Ironically, I had been gifted a tub of it a couple of weeks ago and shaved with it, not paying particular attention to the scent but more interested in performance, which is excellent by the way.  Because I was in the mood for a rose scented shave this morning, I opened the tub and took a sniff.  Sure enough, a wonderful subtle scent of rose was definitely there and today's shave became set.  I think your site is going to be very useful.

Hey everyone, hope all is well! Wanted to post a quick update on some of the things that I've been working on over the past two months:


Features:

• Added support for additional products, notably aftershaves and fragrances.
  
• Product Status and Release Type are separate now. Previously, it wasn't possible to make something a seasonal and discontinued.
  
• Recommendations are now calculated in the background. No more waiting on the page 20+ seconds while the recommendation updates. It still takes that time to calculate, but you can browse other pages while it does it.
  
• Added a vendor page that lists all vendors. The vendor details page will include all the product links listed on TTS. (Full disclosure: the MenEssentials links are affiliate links. Their presence doesn't affect recommendations in any way)
  
• Added search functionality. This still can use a lot of improvement, but it is better than nothing right now. One major thing it doesn't do is include entries based off the notes; it's basing searches primarily off descriptions. I need to figure out how to include the notes. With that being said, if you are looking for something that has say orange and anise, you can search for "anise orange" and it will return products that have both as long as both words are in the description. You can search for seasonal products with 'seasonal_spring', "seasonal_summer", "seasonal_fall", and "seasonal_winter". You can also search Limited Edition products with "limited_edition"
  
• Consolidated "collaboration" products. Previously, I had to separate out the collections, but they are all in one place now. If you had only rated one, I copied those ratings over for you. In general, I will mark the owner of the scent the "brand" and the product maker the collaborator (for example, CL is the brand, and T+S or L&L would be the collaborator). The products will show up on both brand pages, but on the soap/post-shave/fragrance page, it will only show under the primary brand.
  
• Added a Fragrance page. Currently have fragrances from Chatillon Lux, Dr. Jon's, Barrister & Mann, Ginger's Garden, and Zoologist Perfumes
  
• You can now 'delete' a rating by clearing the rating field and saving.
  

Product Additions:

• Almost all the soaps that were previously included now have matching post shave products
  
• Various seasonals/additional products from existing brands
  
• Chatillon Lux post shave products
  
• Barrister's Reserve post shave products
  
• Soap Smooth products
  
• L'Occitane Cade & Cade Rich
  
• D.R Harris creams
  
• The Sudsy Soapery products
  
• Ginger's Garden products
  
• Dr. Jon's Solid Colognes
  
• Cold River Soap Works' new products
  
• Cooper & French products
  
• Zoologist Perfumes fragrances
  
• Henri et Victoria fragrances
  

Again, thanks everyone for checking out the site. I'm happy to take suggestions and feedback, so if there is a feature you'd like to see or any issues, let me know!
