Tabac Original Men's Shaving Soap in Bowl 125g - Classic Scented Lather for Smooth Shave

Being quite new to the DE scene I have probably done what most folk have done and went nuts with different shaving soaps/croaps/creams... Out of the 5 top brand products I have bought, this is by far the best. It smells great (manly!), lathers up really easily...some soaps are quite thirsty and need to be worked perfectly to get a good shave, will no doubt last me ages, and most of all is very slick and gives excellent lubrication on the blade. No razor burn what so ever, even after shaving against the grain. I cannot praise this Deutsche master product highly. I'll give you my top 5 to give you an idea of how well I like this stuff... 1: Tabac 2: Arko 3: Taylors Coconut 4: Prorasso Red 5: Prorasso Green Take it from me, its great stuff, works really well, smells great and will last ages. Plus it comes in a classy ceramic dish! What more could you ask for! Happy shaving!

I spent a period buying very expensive shave cream and came to a point I wasn’t convinced it was as great as it should be. This was confirmed when standard Gillette foam created a superior barrier for a fraction of the cost. However I do enjoy a traditional shave and thoroughly believe in the benefits of a traditional brush provided the soap is up to scratch. Enter the Tabac shave soap with its own basin holder. I soak my brush in piping hot water and agitate the soap. The foam generated is an intense thick lather that creates a fantastic smooth shave lubricant barrier and of secondary importance rinses off the razor with ease Add the fact it is inexpensive and looks like it will last forever it’s a great option if you like to shave with a traditional brush.

This was a nice surprise. It makes a very rich lather very quickly and is the best I've come across in a soap so far. Makes for a nice smooth shave. Not particulary scented. It's not quite up there with Proraso in terms of the lather and protecting your face, but it's not far off and there is a lot in the tub so certainly going to last for a while. Very pleased with it.

Excellent for shaving

ive bin using this soap for nearly 3 months now and i have used hardly any of it its lasting a very long time makes my skin feel so nice afterwards and dosent give me a rash like some other shaving soap have done in the past it lathers up very quickly and has a very plesent smell i think i bougth this as it costs a lot for shaving foam over the year but this cost more at first but i know it will save money over time i no it gona last more than a year i will be buying the refills for this item once i need one which will be a long time off yet and it makes shaving a nice experience and the razor doesnt pull as the face is not too think with shaving gel in places and gives a even coverage which then stops me getting any rashes or irrittion an all it a plesure to use its worth while getting a decent shaving brush to go with it thou which dosent lose the bristles so easy as the cheap ones are usless i use a omega 49 which seems to of better quality than others i have used i have no doubt this item will suit most people i have sensitive skin an it v good for me the sellar also derlivered everything they promiced and in a promptly manner arrived before the estimate they gave me i trust the sellar very much an will buy from them again with out any problems

Switched to this after using the cheap blue Wilkinson shaving soap for way too long. The shave is always smooth and I never feel any razorburn or other sorts of itchiness since using this. Extremely productive lather. I just turn my wet brush in it for like 8 times and that's enough for me to get a big load of foam with leftovers, but I only shave my neck since I am keeping a full beard. I think it will last a couple hundred shaves at the current rate. Smell does the job, it's pleasant enough and not invasive at all after it's been out of the packaging for a few days. Good solid product well deserving its reputation decades after release.

I’ve been using the cream for a while as it was a less expensive way to try this range, and really enjoyed it, prompting me to buy this. Both offer unbeatable performance at the price! The soap may appear a little pricey, but it’s a hard soap and so will last a long time, and it comes in a well made, heavy ceramic bowl with a lid. Once the soap runs out, you can buy a much cheaper refill and put it in the bowl. Its easy to lather, offers plenty of cushion and glide, and unlike some that dry my skin out, it leaves my skin feeling great afterwards. The scent I find hard to describe, other than to say it is a little old fashioned. It divides opinion, but it’s one of my favourites and my wife loves it too. If I had only one soap, this would be it.

Beginning my DE safety razor journey, I wanted a quality shaving soap. This brand was well reviewed on YouTube shaving channels, and the really sweet part was it came with a nice container. The scent is classic - not overpowering but a nice statement. But the real beauty is the lather - with a brush and some water you can create just the most luxurious cream that will enable your razor to glide across your skin. Because I like to do 3 passes in a shave, I find a gentle squeeze of the brush will yield more lather - and if you need more dipping the tip in some water and a quick circular motion, you have plenty more. This is a quality product - and I can see this "puck" of soup last me a good number of months- so it's not a big layout in those terms. In conjunction with my Kelvin razor and Derby blades from Amazon, just the best shaves ever. Container is a very hansome addition to my bathroom shelf

My top 4: *I was going to put 5 but really just thought these worth the effort. 1. Tabac: this scent is just ME. I love this stuff. Get your brush nice and wet and warm, give it a shake and lather. Mounds of lather, slick, warm, soft and such a leathery tobacco sweet scent. Not burnt tobacco but the actual plant. I just love everything about it. For me it is my if I only had 1 soap choice. This is a scent and soap that I shave with year round. 2. TOBS Sandalwood: I have acquired this recently and will say that as far as a luxury feeling lather goes, this is it. You will not find a better performing shave soap in my opinion. I little goes a long way. I’m just not as crazy about the scent, it’s ok, but there is a reason it is second to Tabac for me. 3. Cella: this stuff is near perfect. This is some seriously nice shave soap. If you want a great shave go with this. The only reason it is number 3 is because it smells like Christmas Cookies and for me that is not my everyday scent. But it does dissipate quickly. I find this is the soap I shave with when I am happy. Also worth noting, I let all of my family and friends smell all my soaps and pick their favorite and 20/20 people picked this. I agree, the scent is wonderful and so is the performance, I just can’t do Christmas Cookies everyday, especially when it is hot outside. 4. Proraso Green: just an absolute classic. Such a refreshing and crisp shave. The eucalyptus and menthol in this is hard to beat as far as the feeling of a shave goes. I just find the lather to not be as thick or rich. If I want an irritation free and smooth shave I will reach for this, and I find myself reaching for it a lot. Update: 2/18/26 This is still my number 1, Great stuff!

Weihnachten 2013 sollte es meine erste Rasierseife sein. Ich wusste bis Dato nie wie man die Seife verwendet und hab mir bei YouTube ein Video für "Rasierseifen Dummies" angesehen und verstehe heute gar nicht warum man sich anders rasieren sollte. Funktioniert übrigens ganz einfach: Man nimmt einen Rasierpinsel, macht ihn etwas nass und fängt an diesen in der Seife mit kreisförmiger Bewegung den Pinsel zu reiben - nach 15-20 Sekunden hat man den Pinsel mit ordentlich Seifenschaum und kann anfangen einzupinseln. Zugegeben, rasieren ist echt nervig - vor allem - wenn man das jeden Tag tun muss. Ich rasiere ich 3-4 Mal die Woche und diese Seife macht das zu einem Erlebnis - denn erstens riecht sie intensiv gut nach Tabac, dann fühlt sich Seife viel besser an wie das Gel oder Schaumzeug. Wenn man sich rasiert hat kann man den Rest im Pinsel beispielsweise noch für eine Gesichtswäsche verwenden. Der Effekt ist eine glatte, saubere und weiche Haut - man hat das Gefühl im Barber Shop gewesen zu sein. Die Dose ist nicht günstig, aber wenn man sieht wie ergiebig(bisher14 Monate und noch lange nicht leer) die Seife ist, ist sie viel günstiger als die Gel- und Schaumdosen. Es ist natürlich der Duft von Tabac – wer den nicht abhaben kann sollte das nicht kaufen – wer den Duft aber wie ich mag, kann sich auf ein tolles Produkt freuen. 5 Sterne von mir und ein kleines Tutorial wie schnell das mit der Seife geht.

Riktigt bra kvalité till bra pris, har tidigare haft rakstiftet med denna var ännu bättre. Rejäl glasskål.

Eccellente la consiglio

El jabón es totalmente natural, con una lubricación enorme, sin irritaciones. Se le saca bien la espuma y deja un aroma muy agradable a higiene. Además, dura eternamente, llevo usándolo 4 meses de manera continua y no ha bajado ni el 10% del total, calculo que dura unos 2-3 años. Por el precio que tiene, ahorraremos más de 100€ al año si lo utilizamos en lugar de los botes en spray.
