If I only had one, I may keep it untouched (or until I lose my self control and use it). I have three so I am using one already.
Well, what'd ya do with it? Use it? sell it? bury it under a palm tree in Bora-Bora?So I was rooting through my giant box o' shave stuff I've accumulated over the years, and towards the bottom I discover a boxed Irisch Moos shave stick that looks to be completely unused. (For those who don't know, Irisch Moos was a shave soap from the same company as Tabac that was discontinued in 2012. Smells a bit like a grown-up version of Irish Spring.) Now, I'm a big fan of Tabac, so I probably got the Irisch Moos in the first place because of that connection and then just never got around to trying it. It's a pleasant scent, and if it's anything like Tabac it'll be a fine soap, but part of me thinks I ought to put it on the B/S/T so someone who really misses Irisch Moos can have it, since I probably won't end up using it that much.
What would y'all do if you discovered you had a rare, out of production soap? Use it, or let it go to someone who'd properly appreciate it?
Smartest thing I've seen posted today!Do not use!
Send to me. I will use!
AA fire that soap up!
Smartest thing I've seen posted today!
Ok, this is now the smartest thing that I have seen posted today!No, this would be smart: if Mr. Fine has developed a Tabac-like base - and I think it's like 80% there - someone tell him to make a Sir Irisch Moos scent for it.
Then, the stuff would be essentially back in production for all to enjoy!

I didn't mention it in my post, but it was never "Sir Irisch Moos" as in the royal title "Sir," anymore than D.R. Harris was Doctor Harris as some have mistakenly inferred. SIR International was the original product line. When the word International was dropped, SIR became the name of the product line. The word was always displayed in all caps. It was never a personal "title." These were German-language products, after all. Mäuer & Wirtz effectively eliminated the product line designation and made Irisch Moos a brand in its own right. The SIR logotype was maintained in miniature form on the product box merely to designate its pedigree, as the direct successor to the Mühlens fragrance, for those who remembered that product and were looking again for it.No, this would be smart: if Mr. Fine has developed a Tabac-like base - and I think it's like 80% there - someone tell him to make a Sir Irisch Moos scent for it.

You may not have been implying that at all, and if so, I apologise, but it seemed a fair misinterpretation that merited clarification.
Actually, the post I was referring to there, was written for a different thread: "Tabac is the best kept secret in shaving." Probably the wrong place for a history of Irisch Moos, but it's found here:Thanks for the history @razorboi I had to chuckle because I had always read it as Sir Irish Moose
Sir Irish Moose? Now that's funny!Thanks for the history @razorboi I had to chuckle because I had always read it as Sir Irish Moose
CBL soaps has a really nice Moos-like scented soap called Sir Fougere if you really don’t want to use the unobtainium
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but what razor is that? Looks like a Fatip on a custom handle?You may regret selling it.
You will never regret using it, it's a great soap.
Use it, enjoy life!
Correct! It's a Fatip comb, Merkur cap, and a Cooncat Bob custom Bull Mastiff handle.what razor is that? Looks like a Fatip on a custom handle?
Talk about a custom! I'll bet you wouldn't trade THAT setup for a fancy $500 razor. Beautiful my friend.Correct! It's a Fatip comb, Merkur cap, and a Cooncat Bob custom Bull Mastiff handle.
