As detailed on several other forums Tabac has been reformulated and is now tallow free.

The tallow and coconut has been replaced with Laurate.

How does it compare to the original?

That's a bummer - is nothing sacred? Thankfully though supplies are healthy in the den. Enough for the rest of my natural - cheers - I.

I do not know. But a comparison review on one of the US forums is not good.

Always wanted to try but doesn’t seem like a lot of point now. Anyone know of anywhere with old original stock?

I bought some from eBay yesterday. Puck & jar.
Will be a bit miffed if it’s tallow-free tbh.

I would expect Ebay to have a lot of the old formula stock floating around. Please update us when you receive yours, as that would be my first point of call. Cheers

The new formulation is supposed to be poor.

Where is the Tallow?!

A couple of sticks of Arko should smash nicely in the milk glass tub, eh? Perhaps we should stock up on Arko too, one never knows!

It's not that they just dropped the tallow but the coconut oil as well, which they replaced with lauric acid alone.

Lee, I emailed Paul of Connaught Shaving yesterday and he said all the ones he has are the tallow version.

That’s maybe why Fragrance Direct were selling off the soap pucks and sticks a few months ago , I got a ridiculously cheap deal on the sticks .

If the new sans-tallow stuff turns out to be rubbish but you still crave the smell, try the cream in a tube version. It's always been absent of tallow. I used it yesterday and in my opinion it is good. Cheers - I.

Well, get ready for the panic buying.

Basically taken out the two expensive ingredients and replaced with cheap synthetic surfactant ingredient. Price will stay same and profit margin increased!

Great insight there Brian, thanks.

Coconut Oil I can understand might be expensive, Tallow I thought was a cheap bye product from the meat industry, wouldn't have thought it would be an expensive ingredient.

Pop down to Boots ... you can physically check the ingredients.
