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

This product is my gold standard for shaving soaps and I recommend it to everyone who asks for a soap. It lathers with no problems, whatever type brush you use (boar or badger) and the lather is thick, slick and cushiony. I love the scent as well though this is the most likely reason some people do not like this soap. If you are one of them, leave it open for a few days and the scent will fade a little without disappearing completely. I have used this with hard and soft waters and had no problem in generating a great lather quickly. You get quite a lot of product for the money and it comes in nice glass/ceramic tub that does not look out of place in a bathroom. Suggest that you get the After Shave (Lotion or Balm) to go with this soap!!!

Great smell, great lather, great shave.

Great lather. Scent could be better. Actually has no scent, smells like old fashioned soap. Fantastic value for the price.

Bought this for my hubby; it creates a smooth, creamy lather and smells slightly of Tabac (my ALL TIME FAVORITE aftershave, which he also wears). The soap is long-lasting and looks like it will last for at least a year of daily shaving use. You also really owe it to yourself to try Tabacs mens aftershave

This was exactly what I was looking for: Original Tabac formula with tallow in a milk glass bowl. The company recently announced that they were going vegan in their formulation so I wanted this right away. The shipping in the Southwest US was received within 2 days. Very pleased. I love this traditional fragrance. FYI, the milk glass bowl doesn’t make this suitable for traveling, but was not purchased with that in mind.

This soap is the Ive ever tried. Great protection and scent! Will buy again.

Like other low-star reviews have said, this stuff smells absolutely terrible. I was trying to put my finger on exactly what it reminded me of for a long time, but it hit me just recently - it smells like an old folk’s home. A combination of baby powder and just a hint of literal human excrement. The container it came in is kind of cool, so I’ll be scraping the rest of the soap straight into the garbage and keeping the jar for miscellanea.

It has a lather second to none. Cushioning and slick. It doesnt dry out or burn. I have been trying to place the smell for a long time. I arrived at that smell when your kid pees in the bed.

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.

Barber shop smell is awesome and good lather
