I can't quite believe this is a man's shaving soap. The floral perfume seems very feminine to me - and not in a wolf-whistle kind of way. Every time it hits me I have a brief panic attack. Post-traumatic stress I guess: I have this terrible fear my mother is about to spit on a hanky and start wiping my face, roughly, annoyed at my latest crime against cleanliness. Such a strange choice of scent for male bathroom activity.
It's pretty strong stuff. I tried out a new shavette yesterday and hours after the shave it *still* smelled of Tabac. Maybe if I leave my window open and let the soap air for a few days the flowery aroma will calm down. Does Tabac attract bees?
But... it lathered up really easily and it got me through my first shavette shave with almost zero damage. That was quite impressive.
I don't exactly hate the scent: it's more that I was surprised by it. At the end of the day what does a little relived childhood trauma matter compared to a good shave?
