Thanked: 13I've got waaaay too many razors, nearly too many brushes and far too many rocks for sharpening. On aftershaves, however, I've tried a fair amount, but find that I use three for 90% of my shaves: Knize 10, Eau d'Emeraude and Floid Blue.
The Floid gets the most use, especially now in the summer. It's just fabulous. I don't think it's particularly "healing" the way the Emeraude is, but it's got a great cooling sensation and the smell is terrific without being overpowering. The packaging for it is also first class. As I've gotten older, this becomes more important to me. It's a hefty substantial bottle with a bakelite top that means business. The opening in the bottle dispenses just the right amount so there's not much waste. Is it worth 40 bucks? I suppose if you can afford it, then it is. The 400ml bottle I've got now is about 40% full after about 4 months of use and while i don't use it every day, I've also given away a half dozen samples to friends.
Also tried the Floid Black when it came out and while there was this pleasant peaches/pears scent to it, there was also some other chemical note to the scent that I couldn't get past. Wore it at least 5 times and finally had to get rid of it. Others like it, so judge for yourself. Very different from the Blue.

anyone want to split some floid amber with me? i bought the 400 ml bottle but would split it with some people if you just want to try it.
100 ml bottles with atomizer top if someone wants to try it. Pm me for details.

Floid is my go to A/S at this time, I use Floid Black or A/S Balm my wife likes the smell of those. I have all flavors Floid and like them all the Amber has a sweet smell, the Blue has a powder smell, and the Spanish versions all but the Black have the same smell or that's what my nose tells me. I don't think you can go wrong getting a bottle.

I have a bottle of Floid Vigaroso. But I like menthol. Feels like ice on my face. It's so refreshing, especially this time of year. My wife says I smell like a barbershop when I wear it. But you can't go wrong with any of the Floid after shaves.
