Tabac Original Shaving Soap Bowl 125 g

Product Information

So, at the end of the day, I believe that I have moderate to hard water since the city is publishing something every year. Germany, of course! From the perfume makers of Maurer & Wirtz comes an old classic: Tabac Original Shaving Soap. sealed products which are not suitable for return due to health or hygiene reasons if unsealed after delivery (unless these items were damaged or faulty when delivered to you or have been incorrectly delivered) According to online posts, the formula changed because M&W’s tallow provider went out of business in late 2020. M&W’s media department did not respond to my questions about the formula change so I can’t confirm this but the information appears solid.

My usual is a 3 pass shave. I currently have a Merkur 38C with Astra Green blades. I use a finest badger. I face lather by loading the soap on my face directly and then, I build the lather.

As mentioned above, it's either a YMMV type of situation or star-aligned(or else...). The lather is not as good as the Synthetic but, it's closer to the Synthetic than the boar brush.

Tabac is a product name that most traditional wet shavers will recognize from its long presence in the market. According to Mäurer & Wirtz (M&W), the product’s Stohlberg, Germany-based manufacturer ( www.tabac.de/tabac-original), the Tabac line has been around since 1959.

I have read enough on this forum to be able to paint, what I consider, a pretty accurate picture of the new Tabac. So, the tallow version seems more stable but to be honest, since the lather isn't staying on my skin without a shave for that long, it doesn't really affect the end-result.IMO, the demise of traditional mass produced tallow based hard shave soaps is a loss. I bemoan the marketeers being put in charge of the firms that used to make these soaps. This is yet another manifestation of finance capitalism swallowing up whole our heritage of industrial capitalism. It is very protective when you shave, acting like a pre-shave oil while also being a good shaving soap on its own. I can only assume that the Marketing types believe that vegetal shave soaps will be more profitable based on focus group data. The brand name of Tabac Original is due to its distinctive, tart-spicy fragrance composition. However, it has nothing to do with the common processed tobacco, which smells completely different and was never one of the ingredients of Tabac Original. Okay, my plan is to shave for 30 days with the new formulation and alternate with the old formulation for 1 shave only every week or so. I might switch from a boar to a badger to a synthetic brush but I will try to keep the same setup for at least a week. That way, I should be able to keep a consistent result.

So we’re down two great soaps from Italy ( Cella Almond& Cella Aloe) and another great shaving soap from England ( Stirling). What’s next? The good side is that the scent can be covered up very easily, so if you have a good aftershave that you like, this is probably going to be something you can overcome. Ingredients About the Brand: Tabac is a name that has been in the shaving community for many decades. Largely considered something of a “Dad soap,” Tabac original has been produced since the 1960s. Owned by a German Perfume and Beauty company known as Maurer & Wirtz, Tabac is a classic line of fragrances designed specifically for men.

I do not believe that it is possible to replicate all of the performance attributes of tallow with a vegetal base at the same price point. A comparable vegetal base would require the use of exotic oils, which are expensive. The shelf life of a tallow based soap cannot be replicated with a vegetal base, unless it is triple milled, which precludes the use of exotic oils.
