Love the scent and slickness of the soap. Easy to lather and it lasts ages.

I was looking for an easy to lather daily soap equivalent to the Palmolive which seems to be unatainable in the UK at the moment. After a little research, Tabac seemed to be a possible alternative, especially as it is tallow based, which I have found to be an ideal ingredient for shaving soap. So, I bought the refill puck and placed it into one of my flat-bottomed wooden containers (upside down so it didn't rock about). First use, I soaked it in water, as usual, to bloom the soap, but unusually, a lot of soap disolved into the water. The second time I tried just wetting the top, which worked ok, but I suspected may not be necessary. So, as an experiment, I decided to lather on a dry puck (something I never do). Having soaked my brush, I only allowed the excess to drip from the bristles, then I began building lather, lots and lots of lather, very easily and within one minute the brush was loaded and ready to go! This soap is even easier to lather than the Palmolive, whether the puck is pre-soaked or dry, with any brush, bristle or badger, from the stiffest to the softest, you will be able to lather this soap. Just be aware, though, that this soap likes lots of water compared to others, hence why it worked so well with a dripping wet brush. The photos show three of my brushes that I have tried: a large boar bristle, an extra dense silver tip badger, and a large silver tip badger (the latter usually being useless for soaps). The opinion of the scent seems divided, and as always, is personal taste. I like woody fragrances more than floral, and I like the smell of this, although it still doesn't top sandalwood, for me. The shave is quite decent, although the slickness could be better. The Palmolive devinitely betters the Tabac in this department. Even so, it is still nice to shave with and the lather remains on the face without disipating as it dries, and can easily be rehydrated if needed. Overall a very good soap, and one I would recommend. A good choice for anyone who wants a soap that is quick and easy to lather and provides a decent shave and enjoys a traditional aroma.

I was given a shaving bowl several years ago and had never used it because I couldnt find any shaving soap to go in it until I noticed that Tabac provide shaving soap to fit the bowl. After using shaving gel for years which foams up nicley it is noticable that the Tabac shaving soap is quite soapy but not as thick as the gel I have grown used to. So it is a different experience but nevertheless it works and the smell is the traditional Tabac smell.

Great quality good price

If you wet shave then this is an excellent soap, no need to look any further. I highly recommend this soap and other Tabac shaving products.

Great shaving soap, good lather, smooth on the skin, love the fragrance.

A must have in every gentleman's shaving kit. A timeless aroma, not easy to describe but has a class of its own. This product has been around since 1959 & has been a firm favourite for generations with good reason. Bloom first with hot water and set the bloom water aside. Then having soaked your brush in hot water, drain a little & whisk the soap, it quickly lathers. Use the the bloom water & little soap from the bowl to massage onto a wet face. Then using the brush, work into a nice thick cream for a couple of minutes to soften the hairs & lubricate the skin, then get cracking with the razor. If you enjoy the whole shaving process you'll understand when I describe the shaving experience as excellent.
