    Rachmaninov,

    Tabac is a good soap. It lathers well. Cushion and glide are good. Aftershave qualities are good. Some gentlemen like the fragrance and some don't. I love the fragrance. Is Tabac worth it? To me it is. Is it worth it to you? Well, I can't answer that. I think it's good stuff and worth the try. And yes, it should fit the Mitchell's Wool Fat ceramic dish.

    Tabac is a decent product. Their stick is surely one of the better ones available

    Chrisl wanted to try Tabac so I bought my puck with me to the first Frozen Toe Meet-Up at Mike Blue's place I think in 2009. I cut out a slice for him and he brought it home. He let his wife smell it and she declared it to smell like a combination of Aqua Net and Lysol. Now I don't at all concur with her assessment, but I don't live with her, so Chris had to toss it in the trash outside, unused.

    My point is that some people really dislike the smell. Try not to marry those people. I think Tabac has a great smell and lather.

    I'm a bit of a Tabac cheerleader. It is utterly fantastatic. I have 5 tubes of tabac cream stockpiled, and I believe that to be an insufficient number

    I started rotating Tabac and MWF. I'm now just using Tabac every day as it just always gives me a great shave and I do like the smell.

    My wife is not a fan of the smell of Tabac. I work long shifts in a remote location, so when I am at work I often take it, because I really like both the smell and the excellent shaving qualities.

    Tabac is a top performer for me as well! I really enjoy the scent, but some people do not. If your one of the one's who doesn't, just leave the lid off of it for a couple of weeks, and the scent fades pretty well.

    Tabac is a great soap, factor in the price and it's even greater. Like Bob, I put my Tabac in a 1 cup pyrex bowl. It is very easy to lather. The scent to me is reminiscent of pipe smoke, in a good way.
