Smooth and gentle shave and super economical
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.

Best product for wet shaving!
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!

Great product
Been looking to get hold of this for a while, good lather and protection when wet shaving, I’m unlucky as I have very sensitive skin and an allergy to yeast which means shaving can be very hard on my face, however this IS one of the better shave soaps I’ve had

A classic scent with great results.
I understand the other reviews when they posted about a tobacco smell. But honestly I know it's silly coming from a non-smoker, but it's a nice tobacco smell. Think of what Sean Connery as James bond would smell like, or a 80,s F1 driver... It's certainly a gentleman's scent, musky, dark and deep. It lathers up very easily and quickly so this huge jar will last you ages. A brush load will do 5-6 passes if necessary so expect to have this jar for a very long time. The lather is light and airy, so its very slick and hydrates your face. The razor (Merkur 37c) glides with ease. I've tried them all, Proraso, Taylor of old bond street, Edwin Jagger etc... And this is by far the best value for money. Definitely a go to soap, although the smell won't be for all, it doesn't linger for long.

shaving soap
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

Amazing stuff!
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.

Lovely container, classy scent and the most wonderful lather
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

Enjoyable and economical
I'm enjoying this so far. It gives a solid shave and leaves the skin in good condition. The fragrance is great and up there with other manly classics such as Brut, Old Spice, Aramis etc. The Tabac aftershave complements this nicely, but even when I don't use it, the scent of the soap sticks around for a good while.

Je viens de me lancer dans l'utilisation d'un rasoir de sûreté pour des raison évident d'écologie, d'économie mais surtout d'efficacité ! Après avoir lu les avis positifs, je me suis décidé à acheter le savon à barbe TABAC Original 125g. Ce produit est parfait pour mon utilisation : - mousse bien avec l'utilisation d'un blaireau de qualité - Hydrate et laisse une peau bien douce - parfum agréable - contenant pratique et très classe Je ne peux que recommander ce produit de qualité - 5 étoiles Belle journée à tous !

This led to a much less close shave but also saved me from cutting myself. Apparently in the pre-internet era, I had not properly learned how to shave. Being frustrated with the lack of close shave, I decided to give safety razor (“wet shaving”) another try. I am extremely glad that I did. I felt it was necessary to invest in quality but not the most expensive items to start. I began with the Merkur 34C razor, Israeli Personna (Personna Red) blades, the Parker silvertip brush and the Proraso shaving soap. The next step was to provide for a travel kit. This was accomplished with a cheap boar brush (not evaluated here) and Taylor of Old Bond Street Traditional shaving soap along with the Merkur razor. I next upgraded my travel kit to Simpson’s Wee Scot brush and Tabac shaving stick. My home supplies were upgraded to add the Simpson’s Classic 2 and Chubby 1 brushes, Mitchells Wool Fat shaving soap, Tabac shaving soap (after purchasing the stick), and the Lucky Tiger aftershave. Merkur 34C razor – I find this to be an excellent razor. It fits my hand well, gives great control with the short handle and provides for a clean comfortable close shave that is not too aggressive. The only criticism that I have is the finish is not as nice as certain other brands. When my luggage was temporarily lost, I purchased the same razor at the Art of Shaving for more than twice as much money, I did not feel it necessary to experiment with something else when this razor worked so well. Israeli Personna (Red) blades – These blades were purchased in a 100 pack at a very reasonable price. I chose them based on the overall reviews and have not been disappointed. I change the blade after four shaves and always get a consistently good shave. Parker silvertip shaving brush – This is a nice brush and a good value at its price point. It is soft on my skin and lathers Proraso very well. It does not have the backbone of the Simpson’s brushes and as such is now rarely used. I consider this a good starter brush if one is to limit their investment and give wet shaving a chance. With hindsight, I would have saved my money and gone right to the Simpson’s brushes if I were to do it over again. However, there is little to criticize for this brush at this price point. Simpson’s Wee Scot shaving brush – This brush is really small. It looks like a toy, but don’t be mistaken. It is surprisingly effective with the right soap and is excellent for travel. Be aware that even though this is a best badger brush, it is the scritchiest of all my brushes. Other reviewers have been able to get three passes from loading this brush once. I cannot, and therefore now load for each pass. Simpson’s Classic 2 shaving brush – This is a superior brush. This best badger brush is not nearly as scritchy as the Wee Scot. It has tremendous backbone and is superb for face lathering. The best badger hair is packed very densely which initially made it tough for the lather to release but with time the lather releases better. Be advised though that unless you live in a very dry climate, this is not an everyday brush as it takes more than 24 hours to dry and therefore must be rotated. Additionally, it will eat tremendous quantities of soap. Simpson’s Chubby 1 shaving brush (super badger) – This is my best brush. It is similar to the Classic 2 but even more dense with the super badger hair. The handle is slightly wider and bigger all around compared with the Classic 2. Both are good, but you need to like a short handle and be prepared to occasionally get lather on your fingers. Although this is a super badger brush, the degree of softness compared with the best badger Classic 2 is minimal. Compared with the Wee Scot, it is night and day. As with the Classic 2 this brush eats lather due to its density and also takes more than 24 hours to dry. Mitchell’s Wool Fat shaving soap – This is probably my favorite soap. It is however more difficult to lather. I have found that soaking the puck in tepid water while I shower has vastly improved its latherabilty. Tips for better lathering include not using very hot water, squeezing most of the water out of the brush and then adding only a few drops at a time when needed. The result is the best face feel after the shave of any of the soaps. It provides good cushioning and glide. The scent is minimal and not a factor at all for me. Tabac shaving soap – I first bought the stick for travel. Unfortunately the Amazon listing showed this as including the case. I only received the refill. Because the Wee Scot brush is so small, I tried lathering directly on the top of the refill stick and was completely satisfied with the results. So satisfied that I then bought the full size puck and bowl. I have since cut the stick into pieces and place it in the travel bowl with a screw down lid that came with the TOBS traditional soap and that is now my travel soap. This soap lather extremely well and is not so sensitive to the water level or have to be rehydrated as does the MWF. The scent is much stronger when lathering but eventually fades. I find the scent to be fine, I don’t have to have it, but don’t object to it at all. My wife likes this scent the best of all of my soaps. It provides good cushioning and glide and is extremely easy to lather. It does not have quite as good a feel after the shave as the MWF, but that is more a statement of how good the MWF is. I do however rotate daily between this and the MWF. They are both that good. Proraso green shaving soap – I started with this soap and found it good, but nowhere near as good as the MWF or Tabac. It lathers well and is probably the least expensive of any of the soaps that I have used. It provides decent cushioning and glide, but my face feels dryer after shaving than with the MWF and the Tabac. Taylor of Old Bond Street (“TOBS”) Traditional shaving soap – I was very dissatisfied with this soap. It did not lather with the cheap boar brush, and then I found it did not lather well with any of my other brushes. It did not provide good cushioning or glide and I got the least close shaves with this soap than any other. Given that I can lather MWF, I tend to think it is more the soap than I am the problem. I popped the puck out of the plastic travel case and filled the case with the Tabac stick for my travel needs. The soap was used a bathroom hand soap, because the price was just too high to throw away largely unused. Lucky Tiger aftershave and face balm – I like this aftershave which is largely witch hazel based with a host of other natural ingredients. There is no alcohol in this product so it does not have the burning bracing effect that some like. It has an orangey citrus scent that goes away after about 30 seconds. This aftershave is very thin and absorbs well. It moisturizes (especially with the MWF) and is a product that feels very clean to me. Other comments: After reading comments from others, I have learned that pill bottles that can be obtained for free from most pharmacies make excellent travel cases for brushes. I drill several holes in the cap for ventilation. I have also used a pill bottle to store the Tabac refill pieces not put in the travel bowl

Desde el momento del envío hubo problemas, ya que no se sabía que compañia lo transportaba y no recibía información del rastreo del paquete. Además que me dieron una fecha de llegada errónea, que después lo hizo con una semana de retraso y sin previo aviso. Sin contar que el empaque propio del jabón venía maltratado, estaba abierto y fuera totalmente la jabonera y el jabón por separado. Jabonera la cuál también estaba maltratada. Al revisar el producto los ingredientes de la imagen de referencia no concordaban, ya que según esto su composición era a base de sebo y el que me llegó no. No pongo en duda la veracidad del producto en general, pero si deberían de actualizar o indicar que no te llegará tal cuál lo que muestran. La ventaja es que tiene buen precio en comparación a otras ofertas y te llega algo original, más que nada por la jabonera, el reemplazo de jabón lo puedes conseguir a parte.
