I would say so, Halvor. I have both the original Floïd Blue and the later, re-released version and IMO, Epsilon is more akin to the latter. Scent is comparable, but slightly stronger than the original Floïd.

I never tried the original, my journey into traditional shaving coincided with the Blue's discontinuation. However, this stuff is really nice...
Scent: Smells clean and fresh, like linen in a cool sea breeze.
Sillage: None, its a skin scent after 30 seconds.
Longevity: Thirty minutes to an hour, after that I couldn't smell it.
Face feel: Its alcoholic with some oil, it doesnt leave the skin sticky per se but mine was slightly tacky. Menthol burn is on par with Floid Vigoroso (in my opinion.) It felt refreshing and soothing upon application... One of the best AS I've used in that respect, cant comment on healing properties as I didn't need it but certainly not bad
Eight hours later: My face still feels smooth and supple, much more so than usual.
I would say its an absolute bargain for the price and will be stocking up on a couple more bottles once they've fixed the top cap issue.

What issue?
Do the bottles leak? That would be a pretty bad design flaw for a cap (You have ONE job man!)

Exactly right.
The cap feels extremely cheap and doesnt create a good seal so leaks the moment the bottle is turned upside down. Seems to have been an afterthought, can only guess they intended for these bottles to be used with those large screw on atomisers.
Apparently they are working on finding a suitable replacement for the next production batch.

Erik, I found this out after receiving two bottles from Spain, each only 60-65% full and a completely sodden box.

Ha ha. What software actually gets a home with you? List, please!Goodness I'm fickle. To be honest I'm sick of this already
Mrs has a Hollister body spray (Lunada Bay) which makes me literally gag, I hate it and this Blue med shares a note or two with it... I've been noticing it more with every use

Vanishingly little! If soaps were sold in 30g pucks and aftershave in 30ml bottles I would have a higher chance of using them up before I get bored.
Off the top of my head the only software I've not parted with and used to completion is TOBS sandalwood cream & AS... Hmm maybe I should get some more
