    6/10 Not enough Tabac tbh.

    I suggest starting with Tabac soap to cleanse and then Tabac pre-shave oil for the complete Tabac experience.

    Then you too, can look as manly as DC.

    I'm only going 60% Tabac. Maybe one day I can go full Tabac. Then my power level will be over 10,000.

    I don't have a Tabac product, thus I couldn't make a vote in the survey, but I'd have to say "Good stuff" is looking, well, just that-GOOD right now with a solid lead.

    There are two kinds of wet shavers. Those who love the Tabac, and those that love Tabac, but want to be different.

    I am still loving the Tabac.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #224
    Gillette Atra
    Dorco Comfort Thin II
    CWS
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Atra razor with a Dorco Comfort Thin II Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Just the stick for me this morning. Paired it with a free sample of Saponificio Varesino Manna de Sicilia aftershave, which is in the same school of scents

    Apparently I'm just 60% Tabac, but Tabac enough for me. [​IMG][​IMG]

    There's Modern Williams, and then there's everything else.

    I love that this thread has a life of its own. I first discovered Tabac in Germany, 1978. I also discovered my love of a fine German Pilsner, but that's for another thread. I would love to join you all today with a Tabac shave, but I have committed to MWF until 11/1. Enjoy your shaves!

    The soap base is one of the best I have ever tried. But the fragrance of the entire line does not sit well.

    It is the fragrance of Goodwill purse.

    Many a people have said that tabac smells like Grandma's purse. I find Palmolive shave sick to be a similar performing soap.

    While I don't share your opinion, I will agree that the scent is polarizing.
