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

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a soap/cream to give as a gift to.......myself.

    Which one do you think has the best performance between this three?

    • TABAC shaving soap stick
    • Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream in a tub (lavander or rose)
    • L'occitane Cade shaving soap


    I've picked this three because I can get them for the same price...or thereabouts


    Thanks for the help.

    All three are actually great. Of the lot, I'd probably pick Tabac. L'occitane Cade would be a very close second and the Taylor stuff I would probably wait until Spring/Summer on. Just my opinion since you asked for it.

    After several years of telling myself I would try Tabac, I purchased a shavestick a year and a half or so ago. Since then I've not been without it and I'd say I probably shave more often with Tabac and Mitchell's Wool Fat than anything else.

    Well, I have two of the three, Tabac puck and L'Occitane puck. The Tabac is the one I would go for. It makes a tremendous lather easily and smells so old school to me. I don't think I would ever be without it in my rotation.

    Any of those three would be a fine choice as they are all great products, but I'd give the edge to Tabac. It makes copious amounts of lather with hardly any effort. That being said, Tabac is not without it's detractors. The two biggest complaints are the somewhat polarizing scent and it's lack of moisturizing qualities.

    I have all three.
    Good stuff, all of them.
    If I had to choose one though, it would be Cade.
    Then Tabac as a close second.

    For Me IMHO TOBS is 1st on this list. Any and all are fantastic. I own many and love them all. Soaps and creams. I have not used Cade and, Tabac for me, is horrible stuff. As Ryan pointed it is probably the most polarizing Soap My all time least fave. I am the president of the tabac haters club!!!!
    I could not obtain any type of quality lather with it. I count moisture as a high priority and this stuff sucked. The scent left me thinking chemical. I am also suffering from PAD(perfume acquisition disorder) and own hundreds between SWMBO and myself. Both of us thought it was horrible.
    Ryan is correct though. Many people love the stuff so why not try? It's cheap, try it and decide.

    Tabac takes the lead, TOBS second place.
    What are your thoughts about PannaCrema? Because there's a tiny chance of some scents being available before New Year or first days of January.
