Aftershave of the Day

All three are great. If I had to pick one I'd go with original Floid Blue. But since it's no longer available I'll go with Epsilon. No knock against AV. I like and use it as well.
It’s wild that they are so similar but yet there are nuanced differences. AV will always have a special place in my heart because it was my dad’s daily driver - but I prefer the Epsilon MB myself - to me seems to have a little more citrus. I’ve only tried the B&M Cool which is based on Floïd Blue - and I like it a lot - but I’ve never experienced the original. I remember finding an unused bottle about 18 months ago for about $138 - I wish I had jumped on it - but at the time was eyeing a razor and both weren’t in the budget

$138?!??! Wow! Wonder how much I could get for what I have left? LOL! You can kind of see the line where the arrow is.

I think you should start at $50 and go from there - after all it was owned by the great Mark B! Given that I just found another on eBay (and the prices haven’t dropped - you’re sitting on a gold mine! Better than Bitcoin lol!
