Feeling (Floïd) Blue

They've got it at tvbshaving.com. That's where I buy mine.
Several years ago when I heard about a possible Floïd Blue shortage I bought some bottles. I thought I was solid. 3 bottles would hold me. Well, guess what. IT'S ALL GONE!Now what?
Is there none to be had anywhere?
3017'ing aftershaves?
If you are open to suggestions for alternatives...
RazoRock Baby Blue (or Mr. Pink - same fragrance) is a very nice aftershave.

I also really like Figaro Monsieur Gold (get the 400ml bottle, the small bottle is different)

While I am sure they won't replace Floid Blue, they good barbershop-y splashes on their own. They might be okay stand-ins for it. (Full Disclosure: I haven't tried Floid Blue, so I don't know how different the fragrances are.)

Myrsol Blue is a very good replacement. Not exactly Floid blue, but very similar. i own and enjoy both.
I just got the Mr. Pink today. I also have B&M Cool Reserve.

Thanks for all the alternatives as well as the tip on how to obtain more Floïd.

Bottle of Floïd arrived today from Slovenia. Thanks again for the tip. Fragrance is the same. The bottling is a tad different as the label is a decal as opposed to etching directly on the bottle. Also, the new bottle does not list so much as one ingredient or who the manufacturer is.
Nevertheless, glad it finally arrived. Excited to use it tomorrow.

Good for you! Enjoy.
I believe there is a thread somewhere that explains that the different bottles are from different manufacturing plants, or the plant moved from/to Italy or Spain. Same thing happened with "The Original" or Amber where after things moved, they switched to stick on labels, as opposed to etching.
Does this sound familiar to anyone, or am I way out in left field here?

I'm just after a delightful late night shave with Proraso green soap and a healthy overdose of Figaro Monsieur Gold splash. If Floid Blue reminds some guys of Aqua Velva, the Figaro is Italy's sophisticated answer to Skin Bracer. Same family of scent. Nice menthol hit as well.
Floid blue is terrific. Used some this morning.
