Good job, you can't go wrong with Tabac, leave it on its own with a damp brush and it will lather its self. Good choice of soap by the way, but you must try OSP, it's the law!!!Hi gents,
(is there a female fanbase on here as well?? In that case my sincere apologies! Please read Hi all)
I've only been DE shaving for about five weeks now and got my tabac soap and ASB today. Had to be sniffed and tried immediately of course and I made a small video of the lather. (mumbles something along the lines of "down the rabbit hole..").
What are your thoughts? Lathered up pretty easily, started way too dry but think I got it nearly right after adding water a couple of times, maybe a bit too wet in the video. Input much appreciated!

Slightly too wet for me , I'd cut a few drops of water but you can always find your own preference.

No I think he just sells from his website and from third party vendors, I have the scented soaps you list and you will be happy with any of those.You're right about that and I have no idea what I really like yet. I'd say from the list Bay Rum, Lavender, Sandalwood and Barbershop would be my first ones to try. My girlfriend hates cedarwood though, so maybe not the barbershop, or get that for travelling.
Now working my way through the Truefitt and Hill sample pack. Liked the Grafton, so that would maybe come close to the Fougere as well..
Can't really find it on the OSP website, but does he have a shop to try the soaps/scents?
If you can't find any via the third party vendors you are out of luck, James had to stop making this particular soap fragrance because of a massive price hike in the raw ingredients a while back, let's hope the price of these raw ingredient prices return to normal so he can continue to make this fantastic soap. This only effects the bay rum shaving soap, thankfully he has many other great soap scents.I've been after a tub of the Bay Rum for a while, but nowhere seems to have it in stock at the moment! Grrr!
Cripes, I'm feeling lucky then. I picked up a tub of the Ray Bum just a week or two ago. I am going to savour this tub for sure.James had to stop making this particular soap fragrance because of a massive price hike in the raw ingredients a while back
When James announced it a few months ago I quickly picked up two more tubs, it is my favourite OSP soap fragrance.Cripes, I'm feeling lucky then. I picked up a tub of the Ray Bum just a week or two ago. I am going to savour this tub for sure.
