That's scary, and disgusting at the same time. Good for you!Yes you are missing something, for a measly £30 I'll supply the missing component.
Well said that man!Small productions, artisan soaps should cost more to produce by default. Economics of scale.
Also, natural oils, essential oils etc cost more comparing to some synthetic and cheaper components used in some mass produced soaps. (cheaper components don't necessarily mean they are worse performance wise)
So in the start, an artisan should cost more and therefore has a higher end price.
There is also the demand/hype that is keeping those prices up. All that doesn't mean cheaper produtcs like Tabac, La Toja or whatever is worse in quality, the market is apparently big enough for both of them, the cheap and the expensive stuff.

How can you say Tabac has no competition? Anybody who buys soap x over Tabac makes soap X the compitition for Tabac. Yes? Edit....MWF could be seen as a competitor against Tabac, no?Tabac has no competition.
...I agree with you that Tabac is a great soap; I also find Palmolive and Arko superb, both of which make Tabac seem pricey. I enjoy the Artisan soaps, mostly for the scents, but I have not replaced any of them, whereas I have enougth of the European blue collar soaps to see me out...the frugal part of me likes that 200g of Palmolive or Arko cost no more than a couple of quid and for me perform as well. I will even say that the scent of Arko is not much different to Arlington for me...Tabac has no competition.
Tabac is unpretentious, inexpensive, and Everyman's soap. It is the Ford Fusion of shaving soaps.How can you say Tabac has no competition? Anybody who buys soap x over Tabac makes soap X the compitition for Tabac. Yes? Edit....MWF could be seen as a competitor against Tabac, no?
Very much like MWF thenTabac is unpretentious, inexpensive, and Everyman's soap. It is the Ford Fusion of shaving soaps.

Heaven forbid, if I was only allowed one reasonably priced soap, for my skin type it would have to be MWF.MWF could be seen as a competitor against Tabac, no?
Some people say that Fine Accoutrements use the same Tabaco formula. I think the result is close.... I do like the choice of scents Fine offers though.Tabac has no competition.
