Thread: TABAC, T.O.B.S or L'Occitane Cade?

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.

Gents:

For me that's an easy one TABAC. That's about it......

thanks

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,
