Tabac Soap
The first time I tried this soap I said man this soap works good. After I got done shaving I could still smell it on my face and I thought to my self this scent is about to gag me. I don't think I can use it again. Does anybody else have this problem? Would anybody want to trade me some other soap for it or buy it cheap? I just used it one time. Dam good soap I just wished it smelt different.

Luckily I don't have a problem with the scent. Post shave I use an alum block,rinse it off and put on an aftershave, never a problem. Just ordered a new supply in or I would take you up on your offer on that damn good soap.

Unfortunately it's a love-it-or-leave-it scent. I happen to love it, but realize that many don't. If you are in the "leave it" camp it's probably best to PIF it or sell it off in the Classifieds and be done with it.

I have a love-hate relationship with it. When I began the wet shaving journey I heard the hype and bought a bowl. I too gagged on the scent, and I thought it irritated my skin (in retrospect the irritation was more likely due to bad technique). I sold it on shortly thereafter.
Two years later I took the plunge again, and my bowl of tabac is now three years old...and the scent has calmed substantially. In fact, it on my rotation tomorrow morning.

great soap, the smell is a little 70ish but not bad at all and fades pretty quickly. I shave before my shower so the scent does not last for me, but thats just me

One of the best performing soaps I ever had, but I felt the same way, it smells good but a bit overpowering.

Blueheeler,
I've been wanting to try it. PM me and we might be able to work something out.

Same here. Other soaps in use have good traits and not so good. Tabac is the complete package for my shave.
