I very much like that Tabac dates from the late 50's. It has that old-timey feel to it. The tallow-based lather is great and after watching u/sgrdddy evaluate the vegan one, I'll stop using this soap when my tallow puck is done. This will make me appreciate each shave a little more. The EdT, btw, is great. much higher key in scent detail and more refined than the soap or splash. This was an evening shave for me. Time for a beverage and a tabac of another kind 🙂

I'm widening the definition of Tabactober to include tobacco-related soaps. This helps me keep both the term alive, and sample more of my soap inventory for the month. Great shave today. It would be difficult to have a poor one with this gear.
