Not a review, rather a blow-by blow account of my method to create a superlative lather with Tabac. Soaked (Bloomed ) Puck and Boar brush whilst showering. Shook out most of the water from the brush; emptied the bloom ) water into my Aesop Bowl; Began to load the brush. After one minute Then I moved to the bowl Still have NOT added any water; after 1 minute After 2 minutes, I clear the knot and dip the tips of the brush into water and whip... After another 60 seconds Ready to paint 3 passes of slick, comfortable, ethereal shaving. Plenty left over for any touch up Cast of characters: Semogue SOC Boar (Cherry) Aesop Stainless Bowl 1956 (Birth Year) Super-Speed Polsilver SI (4) Tabac Tabac After Shave It doesn't get any better. Thanks for reading.
Love the soap. Haven't tried any other Tabac products, except Irisch Moos. Now that there is a great soap, also!
Tabac soap makes for a great shave. I use other soaps for variety but nothing beats it for me. I use my Semogue boars with it and face lather. I don’t shake the water out of the soaked brush, just let it drip out and then hit the dry puck. I need to buy the aftershave for the full experience. Good post @Primotenore Edit: I turned a friend onto the soap and that’s all he uses now.
Tabac soap and A/S are in my rotation. Great stuff! I also have an Irisch Moos Stick and matching A/S as well. I have no idea why Mauer discontinued the Moos Stick! Arg! But then why did Noxzema quit their cream... Not enough buyers, I guess.
I whipped up some Tabac with my Semogue SOC boar this morning, too. Seems to be a popular combination! Great performance and do like the scent. Am I weird? I know scents are VERY subjective, but how close is the AS to the soap scent? Tabac is a staple for me in the winter, wouldn't mind the full monty...
Loved the soap performance; not a fan of the soap scent. SWMBO and I couldnt abide the scent of the aftershave/cologne. My 84-yr old mom loved the fragrance. It reminded her of her favorite spray cologne, Miss Dior. I gave her the bottle of Tabac spray.
I have the soap, after shave and EDT, love 'em all. Soap makes a great lather and the scent is very nice.
I use Tabac mostly on Sundays and or special occasions. I make an Uber lather with Tabac cream and soap and a couple drops of glycerin. Super slick and my favorite scent. Period. I als use (finished off today) the deodorant, asb, and cologne. So if you guessed that I picked the choice “second to none” you’d be right!!
I really like Tabac Shaving Cream. The soap I'm a little indifferent to. Don't get me wrong the soap's o.k. but I have soaps that I prefer (perform) better.
The only product f there's I have it have tried is their cologne, but I like it a lot. The lather pics are great btw!
