Tabac

Does Tabac make a soap that will fit into a shaving mug?

Yes they do. E.g. Amazon.com: Tabac Original By Maurer & Wirtz For Men Shaving Soap Bowl Refill, 4.4-Ounces: Health & Personal Care Amazon.com got it.

The best way to get any hard soap to fit in any container you would like is to take the soap puck and a cheese grater--grate the soap up into a bunch of soap shavings. take the shavings and cram them down into the bottom of your new container and really pack it in there.

Works like a charm.

DO NOT HEAT UP YOUR SOAP TO MELT IT!

Some folks do, but why risk trashing your soap when you can simply grate it instead?

A friend of mine makes soaps, she says it's ok to melt most of them in the microwave!
I was quite shocked at the suggestion, but she insists it is fine:shrug:
I still grated my soap and squashed it into a bowl.

If its a glycerin based soap and you use low heat for minimum time it works fine but if its a milled soap or one of those natural type products you will destroy the soap in the microwave and it will not melt.

+1. I have grated a bunch of soaps into plastic containers and it worked great for me every time.

Does anyone know where to get samples of Tabac products...or at least of the scent?

I love it and it is my daily soap....Sean

So, Sean was kind enough to send me a sample of the soap...a big chunk! :tu

Very nice! Definitely more "soapy" smelling than others, but in a nice, clean way. Crisp, clean scent without being astringent or "chemically". Nice lather - good coverage. Shaved with my Mappin Bros Frameback - very nice results - BBS in most areas (the neck/jaw is always a challenge, thus my SRP name!)

Where can one buy their products in the US? They have a lot of nice products on their German site.

:D

Smallflower and QED carry Tabac. You can probably find other vendors on Amazon. Every now and then I find a brick and mortar store in NYC that carries it.

Tabac is just awesome - and I don't use that word lightly! Enjoy!

Is the cologne and balm scented like the soap?

To my nose, the aftershave and the soap have a similar scent. The cologne is a little different - more floral or something. Its all good, but I like the a/s better.

Thanks! I am still looking for one site that has all the items...found several sites, but they either don't carry soap/shave cream/balm/AS, etc. all at once or they are out of stock....the search continues.

Try THIS one!
I've only bought the soap from them but it was the cheapest I could find online at the time.

I think Lynn and Don have it (or will soon). Check their site (SRD) or shoot an email.

Thanks! I went to one recommended site and got some soap and cream. I was going to get the after shave lotion, but the German site said it had a high alcohol content, so didn't get that.

We do have it and it's on the site.

Have fun guys,

If we can get it, it will be there.
