I don't recall being in Tobacco Country while they were blooming. I find Tabac soap to have a sweet floral scent that reminds me of Certs breath mints. That could be where the "Grandma's Purse" derision comes from. The scent doesn't linger after rinsing off the soap, but you can get the full line of AS, Cologne, deodorant if you like it.

Here's a description.

"The fragrance of this flower [Nicotiana affinis] is extremely delicate, yet rich and sweet, spicy-floral, somewhat reminiscent of carnation with a fresher note, almost fruity. The white/pink phlox and the “sweet William”, well known garden perennials, may even better describe the main odor type of the tobacco flower."

That's from basenotes.net -> HERE.

I’ll let you know when I get the lot. I think I have one in one of the boxes I have but I’ll look to make sure it’s a SC it might be LC

Tabac is a bucket of German goodness. Love it. Used it Monday. You should like it I would think. The performance is outstanding too.

Je pilcher "bonanza" straight with box
3 de's 1 silver teck, 1 gold teck, and one gold star.

Well as much as I've tried to put off any brush purchases ..... but I've been eyeing this for over a month and had to take the plunge.



Nothing like a NOS British Ever Ready...... what can I say, I like the unusual.

Looks a lot like one of these; maybe a precursor .....

I'm thinking early to mid 1970's due to lack of UPC.

Super stoked .........

cool brush..

my friend bought me a brush, on its way.. wcs 26mm synthetic..

Thank you .... though I'm still waiting for other things to arrive.

Looks like something you've wanted.

yes sir..one of a couple in the works..

Only thing I'm waiting on is my first ever tub of Tabac.

First and last. Lol it lasts soooo long. From my experience you don’t need to load that long. 10-15 second load is sufficient.

Thanks for the pointer!

Uh oh!

Got this not too long ago. Awesome brush!

Des came today, what i thought was a severely tarnished silver razor is a black painted teck, i belive it is steel. The kind man also gave me a very nice flare tip! I am a super happy boy today!

Uh oh nothing. It smells like soap. How in the world could anyone complain about the smell!? I like it. But I have a German grandmother, so maybe that's it. Yeah, that's it, it's in the blood . And my Epsilon brush is so incredibly soft, and the backbone. I just need a new stand.
