Tabac will always be my favorite soap but the scent of Cade (especially the new puck with the orange label) is intoxicating. I feel the lather from the Tabac is better, but not by much. I think you will be very happy with your tabac stick and try to get the cade in the near future.

Milkylee is right
Tabac is great, performs like a champ and never disappoints... but Cade scent can be described as simply something you will fall in love right away (at least that was my case)
I still like Tabac's scent a lot, but I find Cade's one to be more relaxing. Still, I preffer Tabac and I would recommend you to get one ,specially if you have hard water. I can't get awesomesauce lather from Cade unless I add a bit of cream (like the Prorasso preshave cream)
Sorry I can't comment on TOBS :( I have yet to put my brush on a puck.

Update:
I've just received the Tabac stick and the first thing that came to mind when I sniffed it was: "I think I have a candle somewhere that smells like this"...
I don't hate it, but I wouldn't classify this scent as masculine.
I left the stick open to aerate it...maybe it will change.
Christmas Day I'll shave with it...we'll see how that goes.

That is always a problem with soaps and that is whether or not you like the scent. Me, I love the scent of Tabac which reminds me of going to the barbers when I was a kid. Cella OTH I don't care for the scent of but both are good performing soaps.

+1 for TABAC. Awesome Shave Soap. Took me a while to get on board with TABAC & Cella.
I just recv'd yet another Merry Christmas to ME box in the mail.
I ran upstairs and lathered all 3...will shave tomorrow morning. HUGE decision...which will I use??
In the box were 3 shaving soaps selected solely on the discussions/recommendations recv'd in this forum:
1. TABAC; Love the scent. Easy to build a dense lather. Can't believe that there are people who don't like this scent...Ahh well, more for me.
2. Cella; Now THIS is what an almond scent is supposed to smell like! It has now formally replaced my D.R. Harris Almond. I was never impressed with the almond scent in the D.R Harris. For me, it is a VERY weak scent. Also a great dense lather...simple to build.
3. D.R. Harris Arlington; Another winner! Great scent and performance.
My thanks to all who contribute to these forums.
You make it easy for a NEWBIE like me to make informed decisions.
Merry Christmass to all!

Glad you went with the TABAC, sorry to hear you have candles that smell like that :)
Actually, if the wife knew there were candles scented like tabac my house would be filled with them. she likes the scent as much as I like the lather.
second on your list should be Floris either eleite or JF
then TOBS
then Cade
but that is all up to you Cade is not a scent I like and it is actually much farther down on my list.
enjoy,
jim
