In my opinion, nothing beats the Floid Blue. The Masaje Genuino (orange) is a bit more musky than the blue, but both scents linger for a very long time. It is my understanding that the blue is hard to get these days, but I hope to find some more to replenish my near empty bottle. ;)
I'm sure you'll be impressed with any Floid you may acquire.
The orange is badass! I put into the Clubman Vegetal category....
Well. Almost! :dropjaw:
I remember I sent a bottle to MikeB52.
He hit me as soon as he loaded-up on it!
'DUDE! You could warn a brother!'
:rofl2:
I want the blue. I understand it was discontinued?
I think it is discontinued, but hopefully there is a stash of reserves somewhere!
its discontinued although I have no idea why!, its like Aqua Velva Ice Blue on steroids, I loved it and I wish I had bought 20 bottles cause its gone now. I think you can still get the EDT in blue. Tc
I have never used the original so I can't say anything about this 'Replication'.

Gentlemen,
Years ago I tried a bottle of Floid in the orange color. It smelled like candy. I got rid of it.
I received a bottle of Floid (orange) Masaje Genuino for Xmas. I am really impressed with it. I couldn't
understand why the label referred to it as a massage lotion until I read the back which states that it is
an after shave lotion that can also be used on the body. Attachment 299874
My wife made me get rid of the Floid Black.
Said it smelled like body odor.
The other Floid scents are well liked.
It's too much for me, esp in warmer weather. Kindof like Clubman. It stays for the whole day and makes my eyes water.
Some like it, though!
I like the Floid Orange. Use it about once a week. Have not tried the others.
Have the Original and another close to the original formula, never tried the orange.
But Floid Blue is the best, still have half of my original bottle, it's got a hint of talcum to it, just a superb aftershave, Myrsol Blue isn't even close to Floid Blue, but it's nice IMO.
From some help here, I managed to track down two unopened bottles of Floid Blue - they sit awaiting their doom!

the blue is the best and when they quit making ut i cryed,,, Andrew you better keep it under lock and key if i,m around Tc
I have one bottle almost gone and a brand new one.
Gentlemen,
I had the Floid orange once and got rid of it after a week. I smelled like sweet candy. OY!
Obie i still have 3/4 of a bottle of the Amber , its 4 years old,, not my cup of tea either,, but the Blue! even better than Aqua Velva Ice Blue as a day in , day out man scent
Dave i was really hating you having an extra bottle, but Andrew too the rescue, i have some coming my way . he doesnt know how much this means to me, i searched for a bottle of that stuff for a few months,, but alas it was all sold out,, except for the EDT Thanks Andrew, i can have Dave having more than me. Tc
That bothers you, huh?
I just ordered another Bruno
ya well &^%#%$^*&%( Tc
I've only tried Blue, but it's one of my favorite aftershaves, especially after using a soap with a barber shop scent. I'm halfway through one bottle, and have only one spare remaining. I can't imagine why they would stop making this traditional aftershave.
The orange that Tom sent me, true story. Wasn’t ready for the numb face but grew to really love it.
Never tried the blue either, but it sounds great.
:tu
I managed to get the Orange whilst on holiday in Spain. i like it a lot, old school fragrance in my opinion, very nice on the dry down.
An Italian acquaintance in Qatar went back to Italy for a few days, I had him on the lookout for the Blue, alas he did not manage to find it, but brought me back a large bottle of the Orange and some Proraso soap.
It is a pity that Floid Blue has been discontinued.
It wasn't the be-all, end-all of barbershop scents. But it had it's own place, that nothing else really filled. I was never ashamed to wear and enjoy it, and let my freak flag fly. I'm blessed to still have an original bottle still 2/3rds full, which I will ration out for my remaining life. :tu Those Italians are the shit.
It's not like a ton of others are making down-home barbershop aftershave scents to replace it, either.
I wish you would tell me what an end all. Be all aftershave is. Cause I ain’t found any so I guess they all fall short. As far as the blue scents go it’s in my opinion one of the better ones.
really wish they had an AS that smelled like their Preshave oil, that stuff is AMAZING.
Ya still waiting for my Blu :hmmm::w. That north f he border mail must be slow (sarcasm if you don’t recognize it).
Razorock claims to have a Floid Blue reincarnation.
Available at Italian Barber. Who wants to be the first to try order?

I am tempted to buy some too, but having never tried the original I have nothing to compare it too.
So my review will be useless aside from saying if it’s “nice”,
I await the feedback from someone in the nose.
:tu
I bought a big bottle of the Epsilon Blue which is supposed to be a ringer. Never tried the Flood either.
Sort of like AQV only stronger, I think.
Think I will send a sample to Tc for comparison as he is using the old stock stuff. Has a 'stash'.
Just out of pure curiosity, to get an idea what the stuff smells like, I just ordered a puck of RazorRock Blue Barbershop soap off of EBay for $10.99 with free shipping. At some point, I will have to consult with one of the Floid aficionados to see if it's close.
Pete <:-}
I cannot recall ever seeing Floid soap?
Tom I wish I did have a stash, but I don’t. Dave is sending me some, not sure if it’s the original or not. Andrew up north was sending me a bottle and it was an issue with customs(?). But if he comes around I still want that bottle.
As for the soap Pete, can’t say I never tried it, don’t get me wrong guys this AS is not great. But in cheap AS it’s my favorite. I,m a big fan of Aqua Velva Ice Blue. My wife doesn’t like any cheap splash at all, so when I’m home it’s the good stuff, but I,m gone more often than not so I use the cheap stuff. Flood Blu is just really good and the smell for me is great.
Oh well....I will send you some of the Epsilon Blue and you can give an opinion.....
Just got the Razorock Blue Barbershop soap this afternoon.
Haven't used it yet, but it smells terrific.
Pete <:-}
The Razorock Blue Barbershop soap performed admirably. Does everything well. The scent is very much to my liking. I'm anxious to find out how it compares to the Floid Blue. I would put it somewhere on Obie's tier 2 list.
For $7.99 at Italian Barber it's a bargain for sure. I paid $10.99 with free shipping on eBay.
Pete <:-}
Is it sort of like AQV, only stronger, Pete?
