Irisch Moos
Since it has been a while since I used it, I did a face lather with the Irisch Moos this morning and was reminded what a nice stick this is. For me, nice scent, great, slick lather.
Appreciate any thoughts you may have on this wonderful soap.
Thanks,
Ed

I shaved with it yesterday with a Simpson Commodore X1 brush...what a great shave I had!

Now that it's been discontinued, it seems the best place to find it for sale is on German ebay.

You're right. That can be a challenge, but I've had pretty good success asking them if they'd mind shipping to USA, and they almost always agree to do it.Rufust445 wrote:There are still some listings on German eBay. The trick is to find a seller that ships outside of Germany, or Europe.

Irisch Moos shaving cream ?
As an alternative to the discontinued stick, has anyone tried the Irisch Moos Lathering Shave Cream? I see it is available on eBay and Amazon both.

Damn. I just e-mail QED asking why the stick was no longer available... Tabac stick is gone too. If they kill Valobra and Arko as well, I'll have no options...slackskin wrote:As an alternative to the discontinued stick, has anyone tried the Irisch Moos Lathering Shave Cream?

I find Irisch Moos better than all highly praised English soaps...

Re: Irisch Moos
Just a note about Irisch Moos cream and other Irisch Moos items. Both a friend of mine in Germany and another member of another website were looking for these items on the ground in Germany. Both had store clerks telling them that Irisch Moos will generally not be restocked, and the barren condition of the shelf confirmed this. It appears maybe the after shave will continue.
Smallflower.com has the cream at a reasonable price (free shipping @ $85) and other vendors have some as well. Looks like this is the end.........

I am currently at the beginning of using up a tube of IM soap. I loaded it for 30 seconds and used distilled water. I had almost forgotten how much I like the soap. I should have stocked up better when it was in its heyday.

Re: Irisch Moos
I'm about 22 shaves in, using this soap almost every day until it's all gone. Distilled water is the key to using soaps in my case. Even though I can get a good lather with tap water, I have suffered for using too much soap in the past. The IM soap is loading nicely in 15 to 20 seconds, and making tons of lather with the distilled water. It'll be several more weeks before the bowl's finally empty.
