Tabac for me too. Best soap I've tried so far ( I don't use creams ).
Tabac seems to be a popular choice on here. I have a jar of it but the scent seems very overpowering so I haven't used it yet, does it tone itself down in actual use?
Tabac is a blast on the senses on initial use but on me it mellows nicely not long after. I still get the odd subtle waft now and then if I use the aftershave splash but I'm one of those that can't get enough of the scent! Just try it and see what you think, it's one of those marmite moments I guess...
Will be my soap of choice tomorrow then :)
20$ you can buy a whole kilo Cella for that money.
Cella would be my first choice for a very good shaving soap $20.00 or less.
Unfortunately, if you purchase the Mitchell's Wool Fat or the Tabac in a bowl w/ lid, it will be approx. 2x or more than what you have to spend.
I would opt for a shave stick--either Arko, LaToya, Tabac or Irisch Moos.
Even the D. R. Harris shave sticks (Arlington, Marlborough and Lavender) cost less than $20.00. And since they are compact, you can use them for travel.
I also like Pre de Provence and I find razorock one of the easiest one to lather, it is a soft soap.
I would go with one of the English milled soaps like Trumpers or Harris. If you avoid the container they cost about what you are looking to spend. They give a first rate lather.
I agree that Wool Fat can be finicky depending on the water conditions that you have. I have found the Ogallala soaps to be VERY good soaps. And for $15 you can get 3 pucks in 3 different scents!
