    I really appreciate the offer of help. It's work related. Where and when I can take pictures is very restricted.
    • No pictures/video/audio outside
    • No pictures/video/audio at all during certain time periods
    • No pictures/video/audio if certain events are occurring
    • No pictures/video/audio if certain individuals are paranoid
    So on and so forth. Hopefully soon it shall pass and things can get back to business as normal. Nothing to worry about. I just feel like a moocher when I am not posting pictures like you guys do.

    Here's my first comment on the Tabac survey...wasn't there a similar question not long ago? Never mind, I see many have voted in this one.

    I'll jump in here to say I'll come to you when I'm "mentally" ready to try it. As we know, things go so fast in here, I need to say "This is what I'm going to concentrate on right now...no communication except with Primo. "

    Today's shave was with Tabac soap, applied Tabac balm following the shave, and finished off with Tabac after shave lotion. Tabac Tuesday all the way!

    I just got my brother-in-law into wet shaving. I put together a kit for him which included a Muhle Grande razor, a Shavemac brush and Tabac soap (he's German so the all German products theme was intentional). Tabac is a wonderful soap and still remains my favorite tallow based soap. Though I did venture into artisan soaps for a while, I always came back to Tabac (I'm into veggie soaps currently). I chose Tabac for a newbie because you can lather it with a Q-tip and it provides exceptional cushion and glide.

    About it being a drugstore soap, so was Old Spice and Yardley, two iconic soaps thats earned their status over many years.

    ...and Williams...although I would argue the original formula was the "iconic" version.

    I just use the shave stick.

    Good soap. Stinks and could be a bit slicker.

    Having not yet tried a Tabac product, I can't participate in the survey-except to make my usual updates. And with that, I see that Good Stuff jumps out to a commanding lead at 61. Second To None is second(well, of course....chuk yuk yuk)with 26....the rest are bunched at 4.
