Tabac Original By Maurer & Wirtz For Men. Shaving Soap Bowl 4.4 Ounces

Product works great, wish it had a slightly more manly smell. Kind of just smells like plain old soap, but it works great.

Great lathering soap great cushion and glide. I can tell this puck is going to last along time

Even if you disregard my claim, I will be more than happy to accept it. But face the facts, or you know what go ask your grandfather and dad and they will agree with me. Scent wise Tabac of the land of Dutch simply threw this soap out to the masses with complete confidence. What I am inspired by is the philosophy behind the combination of scents that those guys placed on the table. You get a warm cute tie of lavender, along with some innocent citrus, along with a friendly bunch of flowers, you mix them and you find your self hugged with leather and smokey sensation. Who would have thought the piney flowers would turn to a male inspired icon. I have to admit though I had to allow the scent to grow on me but thanks to the after shave that accompanied me since childhood years on my dads den. I was always a curious bugger and Tabac really was the reason for me to grab the art of scents and smells. You know its Tabac when you smell it there is no other option. I purchased this product with the cause of adding some history to my den, I appreciate all scents, artisans and soap companies world wide but sorry not having Tabac in your collection is like not having a bottle of water in your fridge, it should be there, just along with old spice , cella, Mitchells wool fat and the whole gang. I will be posting reviews on every Tabac shaving product on Amazon because of my smart purchase and I would like to be the one to attract some wet shaver to get their hands on the products of this company especially this soap. I am sorry but I did splurge on this soap with its ceramic container and I am always someone who looks for the refill and ignores the extra money to pay on a tub. But common , where else on earth with you find a perfect fit for this soap, yes you can get a vintage skuttle from the ice ages and play an anthem to it but sorry, this ceramic tub along with its wood like lid screams ( I am perfect) and yes it is. The ceramic / porcalin tub is high temperature resistant, it fits well in the hands, it has a great brand look, and all that the price is similar to any artisan shaving soap maker out there. This soap is miles different from the shaving cream, the extra luxurious lather and off white marrang sheen, the extra scent of powder is just incomparable to anything out there. This soap is here to last with you for generations, its triple milled so dont shy away to add extra warm water for the bloom process, it will just make your amazing shave tuned up to heavenly. I used all types of brushes on this soap but I often go with a badger brush just to fulfill a classic gentle mans shave moto. I use all sorts of DE razors with this product , all sorts I mean a wide range of aggressive razors because the cushion and glide I get from this soap protects the hell out of my face. Even if you dont have the after Shaves that exist for this product the smell is strong and will linger even after your shave. I highly recommend to air dry this soap upside down once you already loaded your brush to maintain its everlasting consumption. Rinsing off the left over foam clean with water and leaving it for 24 hours to settle will ensure a long life for this triple milled goodness. I wasnt paid to do this review but I scream Tabac to any new wet shaver who values history, performance, reputation, and quality in products. I find my childish side of me asking myself why arent there any other scents in the line of this company, and I end up slapping myself. If I am not mistaken with respect to Proraso from Italy, Tabac is either as old or even older than Proraso. I wont confirm this fact but I will leave it to you to know. There is a reason why this brand is still kicking strong in the market. Have a great shave!

Absolutely as described and more! Everyone whos on the fence try this now! You will not be disappointed at all!

Pleasure to shave with this soap. The scent is subtle and has grown on me since I started with it. I will buy this again.

Smells good and seems to do the job when shaving head

Well I kept on using Tabac soap and tried some other stuff as well and Im not sure what happened but I started getting much better shaves with Tabac now and the lather is now thick and also slick. Im guessing that leaving my brush a little more wet than usual is what really brought out the quality of the shave soap. Im bumping up my rating from 3 to about 4.25 but leaving as 4 stars overall because it is quite expensive...still Ive been using in on and off for like 3 months and it hasnt shrunk much so it is long lasting. I can now honestly say that I really like Tabac soap and its an important part of my shave den. I must also point out that my technique has gotten much better than the initial review and I have switched blades(polsilver)...maybe these changes were a factor as well. Tabac has made a fan out of me. Original Review: Im still fairly new to traditional wet shaving but have already spend a small fortune finding the best brush/razor/soap/blades for me. On this journey I have found my favorite brush and razor etc. but was still looking for the best shave prep for me. I tried proraso,van der hagen,col conk,cella and body shop maca root. All budget priced and worked well enough with col conk soap being my go to soap. I prefer hard soaps so I thought a much higher priced soap like Tabac will give me a shave that is out of this world. Order the soap. It arrives. I get excited. Same brush I always use(silvertip). Same razor I prefer mostly(futur). Same blades I use always(merkur). Lather up. Lather is good. Smell is enjoyable enough for me. I begin shaving and thats where my excitement ends. Tabac shaving soap has a rich thick lather but almost no slickness. I could feel my face getting dry after the first cheek. Then my face started to feel like it was slightly burning, something that has never happened to me before. Anyway I finish off my shave and no doubt the shave was very close and clean. But my skin was very dry even after my aftershave balm. Maybe tallow soaps dont agree me? I dont know, I expected better for the price. The smell is not good enough to re order either. Ill stick to col conk I guess or try TOBS or Trufitt & Hill next.

Not overly crazy about it. The scent is o.k., I get a little more razor burn using this than I do from Taylor of old bond ( Excellent ) or The Art of shaving ( Both of which are really rich creams rather than a hard soap.) I personally wouldnt buy it again.

This is the most sought after shaving soap in the world. Lathers like a champ, smooth shave every time. I will always have TABAC in my shave den.

This is the best. Miles above any of the British creams or soaps.
