They're like that. It's astounding. I had a friend who went there looking for perfume. The staff had her sniff a bunch but refused to let her buy one. Instead they gave her a sample to test out over a week or so to see how it reacts to her body chemistry.

Stopped in at Colonial Drug last night.

Walked out with some Tabac, some Valopra, and a new block of Alum.

Sweetness!

Any place that sells Tabac should be commended! My lathering method allows me to take years to use up a single cake of shaving soap so I am rarely looking for new soap, but I cannot imagine ever needing to find a soap better than Tabac.

I just used the Tabac for the first time this morning, and indeed it is full of tallowy, slick goodness!

The Valobra was very nice as well!
