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

This is the finest shaving soap Ive used, period. With a good quality brush you can make mounds of rich, hydrating lather. Ive used it to shave with DEs and cartridge razors, and it has helped reduce irritation. The most remarkable thing about this soap is how much water you can add while maintaining a slick lather. A little goes a long way. With daily use one puck will last nearly a year. The tub is attractive and refillable. Finally, I love the fragrance--it reminds me of an old-time barber shop. I cant recommend it highly enough--my desert island soap for sure!

Very pleased with this product!

Meh! This soap is not for me, I simply cant stand the smell. I am a first time buyer, and have to say a last time buyer. The soap makes good lather and provides good cushion and a smooth shave, but the fragrance is overwhelming to me. As stated by others, there are better soaps out there, that smell much better than this. I was curious because of the stellar reviews, now I have tried it, dont like it due to the sent, so never again. By the way, my wife thinks it stinks, and that is the killer!

I have used over 75 soaps over my shaving career. About 50 are tallow based. I have never found a better overall performer than Tabac. I like the scent but do not love it. This is the soap I often use the day after a bad shave from another brand because Tabac is so protective. I understand someone not liking the scent, but I can find no flaws at all with performance. Economically, I can generally find the soap refill for $11-$13 dollars and since it is a hard soap, the cost per shave is actually less than almost anything on the market, much less than many of the artisan soaps I use and enjoy. Great glide and protection. Just a joy to use.

I disliked the fragrance. It was the lavender flowery smell that I just couldnt get past. I threw the jar away even though the shave was good.

I am on my second bowl and will continue to use it. Works up great on the face or in the bowl. I like the sent but will not stay too long

Great lather, love the fragrance. Not too strong, not too old man or feminine. Seems like it will last forever. I only use a few swirls and the lather is thick and creamy.

If you plan on buying your first Tabac shaving soap, do yourself a favor and buy the bowl with the soap. Its completely worth the price difference and youll keep using it once you buy your second puck of Tabac. My wife loves the smell of this soap and it performs well. This soap is excellent and sits on the same level as Mitchells wool fat shaving soap.

Great lather, great scent.

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.
