Floid, the famous lotion, is one of the most appreciated, respected and sought-after aftershave splashes in the World.
Among experienced wet shavers it is considered a top-notch product and has, therefore, a very high reputation.
Floid was first established in Spain in 1932 and is, today, a classic, Old School, historic brand.
Its popularity in Europe is such that its design and formulation has remained unchanged over the years.
Anyhow we have to clarify, since there are two versions of Floid: the Spanish version and the Italian version.
Both are excellent, but also quite different.
The Spanish Floid has a sharper, stronger scent and a higher concentration of alcohol to sting on your face.
The Italian Floid has a lighter, softer fragrance and less alcohol in proportion, making it more suitable for sensitive skins.
My preference goes to the Italian Floid, in particular to the Italian Floid Blue.
This fantastic lotion comes in a 400 ml glass bottle with striking nostalgic graphics and an old world bakelite-style screw cap.
Here in Italy it is priced between 12 € and 16 € and, considering that it should last many months or maybe over a year, it’s a terrific buy and a great value for the money.
Floid Blue has a wonderful, light mentholated formula and, therefore, is very cooling and refreshing.
Its scent, as already stated above, is unique, clean, very Old School and fades rather quickly, not interferring with your cologne.
When applied it doesn’t burn, moisturizes well and gives an amazing mentholated “kick”, just like Proraso splash.
Your face finally feels soft, smooth and tight.
In other words this marvel does exactly what a good aftershave treatment has to do.
And does it perfectly.
If you like top quality products and love traditional Barbershop aftershaves, Floid Blue is for you.
Semplicemente STRAORDINARIO.

. I'm going to buy some Blue Floid when I got to Italy in two weeks.
). I hadn't thought about it until reading Todd's post, but I agree it does have some similarities to a mild 'sport' type scent. I was happy to find that it also stays with me for an hour or so (almost wish it was longer), but I agree that it generally wouldn't cause a problem with many colognes.
