Mine arrived today from BullGoose Shaving (great guy, can't say enough good things about him). The scent was everything I remember from watching my dad get ready when I was a kid - he would use Tabac if he was going out to something important or on a rare night out with mum, away from us kids. I personally think it smells great, but can see why people think it smells like old ladies. Can't wait to lather it up and have a shave with it (I swore to myself I wouldn't shave until the order arrived and until my new razor arrives - can't be far away now, so should be shaving with it within the next few days). Will update with my thoughts on the slick etc once I've used it as it's intended.
