Tabac soap is a bit of a “marmite” in the shaving world - either you love the scent or you find it “weird”! Personally I love it, have done for over 30 years. The one thing everyone does agree on, scent aside, is that its performance is second to none - it’s pretty much a benchmark for richness, cushion and slickness. The refill is great if you already have their shaving soap bowl: it fits perfectly, though obviously it’d fit other bowls too. Long lasting and easy on the pocket too: totally recommended.
