Irisch Moos Shave Stick by MÄURER & WIRTZ

So which is better? THe cream in a tube or the stick?

 

The cream is very good, but I believe I prefer the stick.

 

I just can't spend that much on a stick. Arko looks to be more reasonably priced. I'll put it on my "to-try" list. lol

 

Don't forget the IM stick is bigger than most. I mentioned I milled mine down and it is easily as big or bigger than your average 3" soap puck. Weighs in at 100grams I believe. Prob last around 6 mos I'd say which ain't bad for $15. Not the cheapest, but it's one of those "finer" products not as common as others so you pay a little for that. Something to keep in mind anyway. It's a great soap.

 

I'll probably cave in at some point & get some...LOL!

 

Its $14 for 3.5oz's of IM, and $15 for a 3.5oz puck of D.R. Harris, not sure what IM being in stick form has to do with it.

 

I don't generally use sticks unless I'm traveling. THat's why I like arko. Cheap. Effective. Awesome. & can get 15 for the price of 1 IM...lol If I were payin' extra for the scent, I just assume get the aftershave, that scent would stay a bit longer than the soap's scent I think, LOL!

 

Valobra and IM are both on my *must try* list..

I have been partial to sticks of late.. not just those sold as sticks. I've grated a few hard soaps and pressed them into sticks for direct application.

By far the most fun. Arko, Speick, MWF and a few other sticks are my go-to's.

 

They are my two current favorite shave sticks. Arko is about the best thing going for the price, but I really like the IM container and the larger size. I get fantastic shaves with both IM and Valobra.

 

Dennis, like you, I prefer the larger size containers.. and I don't like trying to hold on to a wet slippery stick of soap. I've take the Arko and Speick sticks, as well as the MWF and a few others and pressed them into travel size twist up deodorant containers. The size and shape are perfect.

 

IM is a great stick, it lathers well and works great. I wish I was able to use IM.

Unfortunately, it irritates my skin and I get red bumpy rashes after shaving when I use IM. If you have issues with Arko, Erasmic, and other shaving sticks, this may also cause issues for you.

 

That's really too bad. I have had this happen with some soaps. L'Occitane Cade was pretty bad on my face.

 

I'm definitely an Irisch Moos shave stick fan. Just an invigorating scent and a feeling of well being every time I use it.
