    I am more and more loving my Tabac EdC.
    Has anyone tried the Tabac shaving soap and if so how does it perform and how did you find the scent?

    If you like the EdC you will love the soap. I hated the scent at first and still wouldn't use the EdC or AS as they are all very close in scent. The performance of the soap is so great for me, that I have started like the scent of the soap.

    Scent is very important to me. That being said if I will continue to use a soap without liking the scent. It has to be outstanding!

    Hope that helps in some way.

    I'm curious about it too, but if it smells close to the edc its a deal breaker =P

    SDK it's his fault

    I have tried the cream. Might be the slickest stuff I have used so far. If you like the smell of the EDC, I would think getting the soap is a no brainer for you. Definitely a quality brand.

    I personally couldn't take the smell. My best description would be sitting in a musty attic with an old man. Somewhere in this attic is a stale ashtray.

    Of course, smell is subjective and YMMV.....

    Tabac is a really good soap and it comes in a large puck that lasts a long, long time. I wasn't sure about the scent at first but it grew on me. I'd put the performance very slightly below Arko.

    Tabac has never let me down. I like the scent. More importantly my wife likes the scent.

    The scent is a half and half type. Half of the crowd likes it and the other half of the crowd hate it. And remember YMMV.

    I enjoy the scent of the soap, so much so that I have backups for backups. The cream is a weird yellow color, it works okay.

    The A/S was a MASSIVE let down for me because it does not smell like the soap.

    I'm one of the weirdos, love the cream but have other soaps I'd much rather use. I do like the scent but it took awhile.

    Excellent-lathering soap with very good glide; Scent is tolerable—not a deal breaker as the soap is exceptional.

    I love the scent. My grandfather used Tabac and it reminds me of him.

    Objectively seen it's kinda an old man scent, but I happen to like it despite my young age.

    Performance is outstanding!

    Sorry all. The scent reminds me of a perfume my grandMOTHER used to wear. Spot on. Couldn't do it.

    Sure it wasn't Alt Insbruck? Those are interchangeable in scent and it's a true unisex scent.

    Never met nor heard of a female using Tabac - at least not in this part of the world :)

    Alt Innsbruck is definetly an Unisex scent. I never smelled Tabac on an older women.

    By the way...my GrandMOTHER loves Alt Innsbruck very much!!! :rofl:

    Did your grandma have a perm? It does smell, to me anyway, like the perm products older ladies use to use.
