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

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!

Tabac is a wetshaving favorite, and for good reason. It lathers easily, is very protective, and comes in a nice jar. The scent is mild and short-lived. Highly recommended.

Great soap but as some have mentioned the smell isnt for everyone. My 5 stars are for the functionality of the soap. I hate reviews where the product works perfectly well, but it gets two stars because the buyer had a bad shipping experience. My GF is sensitive to overdone scents, but it turns out she actually really likes this one. Another reason it gets kudos is there is much less waste using a shaving soap vs a canned foam shaving cream. Very little to no garbage if properly wrapped.

Manly scent! I like it...

Perfume Spot does not include the bowl with this purchase of Tabac. This is simply a refill.

Great lather. Slick and cushiony. Some love the scent others hate it. I like it. If it helps get an idea of my scent taste, I like stirlings barbershop, sharp dressed man, caties bubbles LPV and tactical support, taylor of old bond street st james and sandalwood.

Loved the lather and the glide it provides. In the container, the soap smells like someone boiled a bunch of old ladies and concentrated it. However, when lathered up — oooof! My favorite scent of all my shaving soaps and croaps. Get it today!

This soap is really good. No wonder it is a classic!

I liked this years ago but now I think it smells a bit too much like creepy old man. The later and shave are decent though.

It does a good job. Cost versus performance and shaving satisfaction it definitely deserves a four star rating. I am pleased to have it in my rotation, but not a soap I would use every day because it is so good. The scent is different, a tobacco like scent. It is well worth giving it a try. I like the product, but I also like other products, some are half the price. I would definitely buy it again because of the scent and it does give a good shave. A product every shaver should try at least once, as it is definitely different in a positive way. It certainly has a nitch, and as far as I am aware of, there are no other soaps with this unique tobacco like scent, and it comes in an attractive shaving bowl--nice to own. There is also a matching Tabac after shave bottle, that is worth having that makes an attractive combination set.
