Scent: L'Artisan Parfumeur Fou d'Absinthe
I was expecting the Sir Irisch Moos to be good, but whoa! It has a nostalgic old school fresh scent, and a few notes that give away its personality as a stablemate of Tabac. I normally have to work a little to build lather on my face with sticks, but this soap lathered quickly and produced wonderful lather. Whilst I do not know for sure, I suspect it is the identical soap base as Tabac. Mäurer & Wirtz certainly know their stuff. The lather was very dense and creamy, with excellent residual slickness. Lovely post-shave feel, also. Three passes with the Type G, with a buff or two along the way, for a DFS+. A generous application of Fou d'Absinthe, and I am feeling wonderful.
Well done, I knew you had a SOTD post in you! May there be many more. P.I guess as I'm commenting on SOTD posts, I really should post my first ever SOTD.

Face lather, as always. I remember @Bogeyman posting on another thread that many people have commented that that the tuxedo knots, particularly the bulb variety have a lack of splay that can be remedied with a fan knot. I find the bulb tuxedo is just fine if you exert a bit more pressure. I think many shavers consider bulbs more suited to bowl lathering, maybe, but I think I prefer bulb over fan as they give you better control in lather placement. The shave with the Haslinger was delightful as usual, I'm nearly out of the Schalfmilch ,so I'm using it sparingly. I do have an unused Coconut which I will get to eventually, such a shame they reformulated, I will not be trying the new tallowless variety. Finished with a splash of Russian Leather, lovely.
I'll be posting pictures next!
