Anyone else

Tabac is my go to soap followed by Cella and TOBS Coconut. I'm still looking for that sleeker soap but I'm starting to believe the hard water has something to do with the problems I'm having. Incidentally, Palmolive perhaps perform a little better for me but I'm not a fun of its scent.

Okay, what lasts longer, the shave or the scent?

If someone ever decided to grate Palmolive into a fancy dish with a little nicer fragrance and stuck a designer label on it the shaving community would go Ga-Ga for it. I'm sure of it.

I think you're absolutely right there.

The scent is not that great but if you stick at it for long enough then it grows on you a little bit.
I remembered I hated Tabac, it was my second ever soap so I had to come back to it regularly. Now it's by far my favourite
I just finished shaving with it and it's such a good performer and smells terrific. I use a scattle but if I use my boar brush with it then the lather kind of dissipates before the 3rd pass. With a badger silvertip the lather remains alive throughout. The boar brush does a wonderful job with Tabac too but in face lather mode. Maybe my technique is not quite right

I just sent Palmolive-Colgate consumer affairs an email with your sentiments, which I seconded.

Hey Steve! Did you mention they could up their price from 50p to £12.00 and it would still fly off the shelves?

I said if they followed your suggestion, Palmolive would be the number 1 selling shaving soap/cream. I'm hoping they still don't charge more than a fiver.

You need more water with the boar.

I haven't come across a large manufacturer whose products cost less than £5 and have a clean ingredients list. I think this is key for myself personally.

Why settle for just one when you can have both?
