    I really like the performance but my better half is not fond of the smell. I just left for work this morning so it will be soap and aftershave of choice for the next three weeks. I will use her favorite scents when I return home, until then Tabac it is. I also like La Toya and Volobra soaps. Arko is an easy one too, although the scent is not wooo hooo the performance is quite reasonable.

    I actually use Tabac fairly regular. it is in my top 5 it is number 5 I have others that edge it out as far as scent, I,m kinda like Rez on the wife front , so its been mostly when I worked , although I have 4 soaps I like better ,, but the lather Tabac gives you is really good , and the face likes it too,, as to the scent , well I think 70,s fits it very well , and no its not Stetson at all, mix it with the Tabac EDT and you have a very respectable shave. now as to what Mainaman said ,Saponificio Varesino,, is now my number 3,a very nice gift from Cudarunner and it is a very good soap with my MDC at the top , and Castle Forbes number 2 , and if you would like to try a soap that is not expensive and at number 4 on my list is Institute Karitte. enojoy the Tabac , if the smell isn't your cup of tea stay with it , cause it grew on me , plus the lather keeps you happy tc

    I have quite sensitive skin to an unknown quantity in a number of soaps I have tried. The Tabac cream, surprisingly, does not affect me so and does provide a wonderful easy to use lather. It is therefore the cream I use daily. At some point I will branch out and try something different again, but for the past 6 months or so, Tabac has been the daily use. Add glycerine to the cream and the lather gets even better. I am assured, although I've never tried it, that the combination of Tabac soap, cream and glycerine is an even more sumptuous combination.

    There are 3 soaps that will always be in my rotation, Tabac, Palmolive shave stick and Arko. The Tabac AS is one of only 3 AS products that I have had a woman circle back and ask me what I was wearing because it smelt good.

    I have both Tabac soap and the cream. I find the soap much better imo. The soap is a solid performer that never disappoints. I am a fan of this soap for life.

    I recently started using Tabac as well, and I also have no regrets. Turned into one of my favourites.

    That aftershave, is it the Tabac lotion or the 4711?
    And what are the other two?
