Right now it's the last German made tallow shaving stick left standing. Wilkinson Sword, Palmolive, and now Tabac are no longer in production.
Speick just changed their packaging and it still the old formula so I presume they will be sold for a while to come, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is taken off sooner than later.
I don't think M-W outsource, they are a very large company. The factory that made the Fine soap was making a Tabac 'style' formula & this did close.
Donnie, I thought that that was proved a myth. Palmolive simply stopped distributing the stick in the UK I thought was the verdict. WS I have no idea.
Yes Energiser/Edgewell no longer offers the sticks to UK agents. They do not comment on other markets, but I cannot buy it direct.
My local chemist has about six sticks that no ones buy, dated pre 2019.Always wanted to try but doesn’t seem like a lot of point now. Anyone know of anywhere with old original stock?

Not sure if i have a bad MWF batch, but it will never give a similar easy lather like tabac. I need to load like maniac for 45sec with MWF to get the lather (and if i am very lucky...) that tabac will consistently provide me with 10sec load and minimal effort in the lathering afterwards.Assuming the new formula is balls (and I’ll wait for more reviews), what would give a similar shave in terms of lather and lubrication? Mitchell’s Wool Fat?
You might have a dodgy puck there was a thread on it from last year.Not sure if i have a bad MWF batch, but it will never give a similar easy lather like tabac.

Naha, I have a fairly new block of TFS soap which is as good as Tabac so will leave it in place. I think he stocks it for some of the older clients around, he also used to stock Palmolive and WS sticks up to last year but now only have WS bowl and Palmolive cream.You should strike a deal to take them off his hands!
