I've never used the old Tabac but this stick generated plenty of slick, cushioning lather. Taken on its own, this is pretty good soap and I actually quite liked the scent which is a surprise to me.
Bad News & Good News at the same time.I have the one in red and I can confirm coating is coming off. Had it replaced free of charge by Rockwell under lifetime guarantee.

No, got to keep it so got two handles now.Did you have to send your old one back ?
It really is great and though I don’t like the ideas of direct clones I feel this is different enough to the Vector for it not to fully fall in that category. It’s certainly milder, obviously lighter and shaves just too damn well for me to care! It was a great way into my SE habit!A shave of old medieval tales of Excalibur and aquatic maidens, and this one makes an appearance under the theme, 'The nights of the round pub table'

'Make mine a pint of lather please'
A local pub which was renamed some years back by the old 'Wills Pubs' chain. Slightly controversial for obvious reasons, but now sadly closed. And to think they had plans to rename another pub 'The Cock n cider'

Pubs and shaving, and on to the shave....
This particular bit of face time was driven by @LeeMaz and his recent thoughts on the Yaq Excalibur. And by jolly, was the chap correct. Often overlooked by me I'd forgotten how damn fine this (what equates to a) blade on the end of a handle really is. In this case the blade on the end being the Super Professional. A blade which has taken a bit of stick recently, but one which has always tickled my fancy and probably shaved one or two as well. An absolutely smooth delivery and a very fine finish indeed.
And the lady of the lake held Excalibur aloft and said, 'Arthur, you are the true King of England. Now take this razor and shave that fucking beard off you bearded twat.'
A quick word for team lather. Thank you. You are more than worthy of a seat at the round table.

'It's bloody square'
Hope everyone is fine and dandy and yes, I love you all. I shall bow out and leave you with some M.O.8. Not quite all Japanese girly, but there is one in there somewhere. And a Buddhist tub thumping monk. Enjoy.....
