I have been DE wet shaving for around 6 months and it has been quite a journey. Until now I have stuck with vegetable based soaps. I just didn't like the idea of tallow. I have tried Proraso (White, Blue, Red), MdC (Original and Agrumes (samples)), Haslinger (Seaweed (sample)), Palmolive, Proraso Pro (all three (samples)). I wanted to try a soap with a stronger, longer lasting scent. Tabac came recommended for this in the forums. Even though it was a tallow based soap I decided to give it a go. I bought a shave stick refill (£4.99) and grated and pressed it into a jar.
Result : Never had a better shave. Fantastic post shave feel. Superior slickness (initial and residual). Better even than the lauded MdC soaps. Secondarily I loved the scent.
My question is : Are all tallow based shaving soaps a cut above the vegetable ones. Are there even better functioning soaps. Should I keep searching.
