This was my first shave with Tabac Cream (tube). It was interesting. It came out of the tube with a yellow hue. It ended up being much thirstier than a bloomed puck. Maybe I put too much in the bowl but I went visually similar to what I would scoop from a modern croap. Anyway, it turned out nice and slick. The scent is slightly different than the bloomed puck but not bad. This is still the palmitate formula.

Lazy Friday today ahead of a long weekend. Have a good one!
