Floid Aftershave

Have just been looking through the Manufactum web site, and I notice that they have Floid Aftershave in both Spanish and Italian versions. What is the difference?

 

Sounds like a question for Joe.

 

Brian - while both the Spanish and Italian versions are excellent in many ways, I ended up preferring the Italian.

Some primary "generalized" differences:

Spanish - higher alcohol content, sharp scent
Italian - smooth "powdery" barbershop scent

More specifically,

The ingredients vary slightly between the two. Namely, whereas the Italian contains glycerin I don't believe the Spanish does. Moreover, the Spanish contains castor oil, while the Italian does not.

Finally, I believe the Spanish is the true original Floid. It will come down to a matter of preference as to which you will enjoy more, but I think you might even like them both.

What I'm seeking now is the "Floid Blue"

 

Where can we score some in the USA? Is overseas our only option?

 

As far as I know, overseas is the only option

 

That's what I was able to discern from searching endlessly.. just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.

Thanks!

 

Sounds likr the Italian version is the one for me.

Thanks Joe

Thanks bud - I am going to send them a request for shipping quote

 

Blue?

Now dose it have menthol? :drool

 

I'll report back on that - I have requested that info as well :happy088

 

Bless you!

 

I adore Italian Floid. I have a small bottle, but I hardly ever use it because I'm afraid I'll never be able to replace it. I love the smooth powdery feel it leaves behind. Great stuff.

Where's the glycerin? the menthol?

 

Holy laboratory Batman that is a lot of Chemicals.

 

My brother is going to Italy this May. I am giving him a list of items to get.

1. All 3 types of Floid, if he can find them
2. Some Euro Palmolive
3. Maybe some Pitralon, if they have it in Italy.

Any other ideas?

 

-Erasmic Shave Cream (thought I'm not certain they carry it in Italy).
-Floid PreShave Gel (never tried this, but I want to)
-Valobra Menthol Shave Soap
-Valobra Almond Shave Soap
-Valobra Shave Stick
-Valobra Primula Bath Soap

 

They are added to the list. I better tell him to bring another suitcase. Thanks Joe.

 

Valobra?
