    • One of my favorite soaps

This led to a much less close shave but also saved me from cutting myself. Apparently in the pre-internet era, I had not properly learned how to shave. Being frustrated with the lack of close shave, I decided to give safety razor (“wet shaving”) another try. I am extremely glad that I did. I felt it was necessary to invest in quality but not the most expensive items to start. I began with the Merkur 34C razor, Israeli Personna (Personna Red) blades, the Parker silvertip brush and the Proraso shaving soap. The next step was to provide for a travel kit. This was accomplished with a cheap boar brush (not evaluated here) and Taylor of Old Bond Street Traditional shaving soap along with the Merkur razor. I next upgraded my travel kit to Simpson’s Wee Scot brush and Tabac shaving stick. My home supplies were upgraded to add the Simpson’s Classic 2 and Chubby 1 brushes, Mitchells Wool Fat shaving soap, Tabac shaving soap (after purchasing the stick), and the Lucky Tiger aftershave. Merkur 34C razor – I find this to be an excellent razor. It fits my hand well, gives great control with the short handle and provides for a clean comfortable close shave that is not too aggressive. The only criticism that I have is the finish is not as nice as certain other brands. When my luggage was temporarily lost, I purchased the same razor at the Art of Shaving for more than twice as much money, I did not feel it necessary to experiment with something else when this razor worked so well. Israeli Personna (Red) blades – These blades were purchased in a 100 pack at a very reasonable price. I chose them based on the overall reviews and have not been disappointed. I change the blade after four shaves and always get a consistently good shave. Parker silvertip shaving brush – This is a nice brush and a good value at its price point. It is soft on my skin and lathers Proraso very well. It does not have the backbone of the Simpson’s brushes and as such is now rarely used. I consider this a good starter brush if one is to limit their investment and give wet shaving a chance. With hindsight, I would have saved my money and gone right to the Simpson’s brushes if I were to do it over again. However, there is little to criticize for this brush at this price point. Simpson’s Wee Scot shaving brush – This brush is really small. It looks like a toy, but don’t be mistaken. It is surprisingly effective with the right soap and is excellent for travel. Be aware that even though this is a best badger brush, it is the scritchiest of all my brushes. Other reviewers have been able to get three passes from loading this brush once. I cannot, and therefore now load for each pass. Simpson’s Classic 2 shaving brush – This is a superior brush. This best badger brush is not nearly as scritchy as the Wee Scot. It has tremendous backbone and is superb for face lathering. The best badger hair is packed very densely which initially made it tough for the lather to release but with time the lather releases better. Be advised though that unless you live in a very dry climate, this is not an everyday brush as it takes more than 24 hours to dry and therefore must be rotated. Additionally, it will eat tremendous quantities of soap. Simpson’s Chubby 1 shaving brush (super badger) – This is my best brush. It is similar to the Classic 2 but even more dense with the super badger hair. The handle is slightly wider and bigger all around compared with the Classic 2. Both are good, but you need to like a short handle and be prepared to occasionally get lather on your fingers. Although this is a super badger brush, the degree of softness compared with the best badger Classic 2 is minimal. Compared with the Wee Scot, it is night and day. As with the Classic 2 this brush eats lather due to its density and also takes more than 24 hours to dry. Mitchell’s Wool Fat shaving soap – This is probably my favorite soap. It is however more difficult to lather. I have found that soaking the puck in tepid water while I shower has vastly improved its latherabilty. Tips for better lathering include not using very hot water, squeezing most of the water out of the brush and then adding only a few drops at a time when needed. The result is the best face feel after the shave of any of the soaps. It provides good cushioning and glide. The scent is minimal and not a factor at all for me. Tabac shaving soap – I first bought the stick for travel. Unfortunately the Amazon listing showed this as including the case. I only received the refill. Because the Wee Scot brush is so small, I tried lathering directly on the top of the refill stick and was completely satisfied with the results. So satisfied that I then bought the full size puck and bowl. I have since cut the stick into pieces and place it in the travel bowl with a screw down lid that came with the TOBS traditional soap and that is now my travel soap. This soap lather extremely well and is not so sensitive to the water level or have to be rehydrated as does the MWF. The scent is much stronger when lathering but eventually fades. I find the scent to be fine, I don’t have to have it, but don’t object to it at all. My wife likes this scent the best of all of my soaps. It provides good cushioning and glide and is extremely easy to lather. It does not have quite as good a feel after the shave as the MWF, but that is more a statement of how good the MWF is. I do however rotate daily between this and the MWF. They are both that good. Proraso green shaving soap – I started with this soap and found it good, but nowhere near as good as the MWF or Tabac. It lathers well and is probably the least expensive of any of the soaps that I have used. It provides decent cushioning and glide, but my face feels dryer after shaving than with the MWF and the Tabac. Taylor of Old Bond Street (“TOBS”) Traditional shaving soap – I was very dissatisfied with this soap. It did not lather with the cheap boar brush, and then I found it did not lather well with any of my other brushes. It did not provide good cushioning or glide and I got the least close shaves with this soap than any other. Given that I can lather MWF, I tend to think it is more the soap than I am the problem. I popped the puck out of the plastic travel case and filled the case with the Tabac stick for my travel needs. The soap was used a bathroom hand soap, because the price was just too high to throw away largely unused. Lucky Tiger aftershave and face balm – I like this aftershave which is largely witch hazel based with a host of other natural ingredients. There is no alcohol in this product so it does not have the burning bracing effect that some like. It has an orangey citrus scent that goes away after about 30 seconds. This aftershave is very thin and absorbs well. It moisturizes (especially with the MWF) and is a product that feels very clean to me. Other comments: After reading comments from others, I have learned that pill bottles that can be obtained for free from most pharmacies make excellent travel cases for brushes. I drill several holes in the cap for ventilation. I have also used a pill bottle to store the Tabac refill pieces not put in the travel bowl ... show more

    • This is the new VEGAN version
Just a warning that, when I received this product in early November 2022, it turned out to be the new VEGAN version, not the older TALLOW-based version. The description online showed the ingredients for the old TALLOW-based version. I actually like the new VEGAN version, but was hoping to get the old TALLOW version, as advertised. ... show more

    • Can't go wrong with Tabac
This was an interesting purchase for me. After reading online reviews about Tabac, many shared their views about the scent, some loved it and some hated it so I was a little hesitant pulling the trigger. The one thing agreed by most was the performance. This shave stick is wonderful. I’ve come to enjoy the scent and I look forward to it. I can only describe it as a mild old style cologne and I think it’s wonderful. This product is just a refill shave stick, it does not come with the hard plastic container. Some reviewers shared they received the product in a hard plastic, that was not the case for me. I already knew that based on the picture of the product but thought of giving it a try anyways. After shaving, I let the stick dry and then place it in a large pharmacy pill bottle. At first, I peeled the wrapper just a little bit to allow for use. I figured I can tear off little by little as I use the shave stick. To get started with the shave, I wet my face and wet the tip of the shave stick. Then I apply the shave stick to my face, I make sure that it’s rubbed on well and dip the shave stick in water (or add few drops of water to the shave stick) to make sure it does not drag on my face. After applying it, I use my shaving brush to form a lather. This is probably one of my favorite shave soaps now, the lather built provides for an exceptional performance. It does not dry my skin at all but provides great lather for a comfortable shave. I feel that using a shave stick provides me with a better shave as I end up spending more time to lather the product to prep for my shave. ... show more

    • Great old school shave soap, in a travel container.
Tabac is a wonderful old school shaving soap. It has a love it or hate it smell, which many younger men may not like. My father used tabac when I was young (it has been around a while) so I like the smell. Now don't get me wrong I am not buying the aftershave splash or cologne, I have no desire to smell like a mix between an older gentleman and a barbershop, however for a shave it is a nice throwback scent and manly. Tabac is a mix of a powder and spice scent. Now to the actual product. It is a tallow based shaving soap. In my humble opinion tallow based shaving soaps are the best. They are becoming harder to find but Tabac has been doing it a long time and they have stayed true to the formula. I originally bought this for travel but it is a little big for a travel kit (you can find much smaller shave sticks that would be easier to carry around). However, the product is so good that I use it at home. It is easy to use, just wet your face and get your face hydrated. Wet the shave stick and then rub it on your face, where you plan to be shaving. Use a traditional boar or badger brush to build a face lather and you will easily have enough to shave your face adequately. The cost of this product is high because of the case. You can get the pot that it comes in and a larger amount of soap for much cheaper, If you want you can even just get a refill puck and put it in a pyrex bowl. However this type of soap lasts so long that even the stick is a good value and it does save you some of the mess of using a bowl. If you are gonna travel for a longer period of time and have the room then this would be a good stick to take because of the hard casing. Other smaller sticks just come in foil wrappers. Not very convenient. Overall, I am a fan of Tabac shave soap. ... show more
