Well I finally ordered some floid blue, after receiving warning that it is no longer being produced, so I just had to find it
I recently ordered a bottle from the Italian Barber. Not sure why I was willing to pay what I paid for it, except I thought the bottle was really cool. Recieved it a couple of days ago and I really like it. I enjoy the coolness of the menthol upon slapping it on, and the light and pleasant scent. Too bad it's discontinued; hope it someday comes back.
My bottle arrived yesterday. Big bottle! I'm going to try it today. :)
It is great I love the stuff
I like the nice, clean smell. Not too strong, but still there, with little bit of menthol for cooling. Maybe it's because I went all-out and purchased the bulb mister thing to go with it, but I find it's really different putting it on. No burn, just a moistness on the face and the scent.
WHAT! It's no longer being made... What's the best substitute you figure?
I got this over the Blue but don't know if I like the scent so well. It's been religated to my golf bag for those times I just have to have more than a cold beer to liven me up!

I believe they still have it at Italian barber, that's where i got mine
I got this recently from Italian B as well. Can anyone give a comparism to the regular amber colored Floyd? I love the way this stuff makes my skin feel. The scent is nice and fresh along with the menthol as well. Good stuff.
The amber seems to have slightly more of a menthol kick but I find the scent a bit...I dunno...herby. Personally I'm not too keen on it and I sold my bottle on after only a couple of splashes. The blue on the other hand is my absolute favourite a/s both for perfomance and scent. When I found out it had been discontinued, I promptly bought another two bottles. It's my go-to. Okay...gush over.Quote:

Floid Blue is a great aftershave. I wish it was still being made. Besides Italian Barber, it is also sold at Fendrihan.com
I am big lover of Floid after shave. It practically is the only after shave I use, besides the one I make myself.
I have both the blue and "classic" orange and my preference is for the orange style.
I too heard Floid blue is not being produced anymore, however it seems there is no problem for the "orange" style. Here in Italy it is very easy to find Floid and the price ranges from 10 to 14 euros (about 15 US dollars) for a 400 ml bottle.
As you gentlemen certainly know, there is an Italian and a Spanish production of Floid and the two are quite different (of course, the Spanish one is supposed to be the real stuff as it was created in Spain). As far as I can tell, the Spanish production has more alcohol than the Italian Floid, in particular the "Vigoroso".
I got that from the amber but not from the blue. The amber dry down reminded me of pizza...but that might just be me.Quote:
