Floïd can be easily found in Italy and Europe in general, however the "Floïd Vigoroso" is mainly sold in Spain. You can however buy it in many e-commerce sites on the internet, including eBay.

I've bought some before, but it was in a different bottle (the vigoroso). I particularly like that bottle. For me, presentation is nine tenths of the law...

I am a big fan of Floïd and it basically is the only after shave I use since a very long time. I too love the Floïd bottle, old fashioned cylinder shape to which you can mount a luxurious spray pump. Simply love it!
Vigoroso is sold in a different bottle, smaller and flat which is however lovely. As far as I know, the Vigoroso contains more alcohol than the "genuine", has a more mentholated scent and it is mainly produced for Spanish market.

Gentlemen,

I apologize for disappearing during the second half of last week. Unfortunately, work took me away for a few days, but I am back for a very busy next several weeks! And I am kicking off this Independence Day week with a wonderful lavender explosion. MDC wiped away with the Manaslu before applying the Aromé 3 is an incredible exercise in luxury!

Just in time. Tell me. Is presentation nine tenths of the law?

Prep: Speick Natural Soap
Razor: Thiers-Issard Le Grelot 6/8
Strop: Paciccio - Milano, Italy
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Vulfix 404 Grosvenor
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik
Post: Meehan Bay Rhum

Prep - None
Brush - Semogue 1350 boar
Soap - Vintage Williams shave stick
Strop - Neil Miller 3 inch Cordovan leather/English linen
Razor - 6/8 Genco Henrys X spike point
Post - Alum block
AS - Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Cold water face lathered shave. Yea, the older Williams soap is as good as they say and the new stuff is a very pale imitation of it. The older stuff lathers easily with cold water and produces a decently thick lather that is slippery as snot. Had a BBS in no small thanks to the vintage Williams soap. Happy Canada Day everybody.
