First, let me say that Tabac is not a regular in my rotation...i love the scent but it typically only gets used 3, maybe 4, times a year. Because of that, I decided to roll the dice and ordered from Amazon. I figured if they sent the tallow (which, as rudyvey pointed out earlier, is what they advertise) then, great, I've got a backup. If they sent the non-tallow, well, it's not as if I don't enjoy trying new soaps. My package arrived the other day and, guess i'm trying the new non-tallow version ![Smile Smile](https://cdn.damnfineshave.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
Overall, it really isn't that bad. The scent is still Tabac, although I feel the scent strength has been taken down just a notch. But only a notch. I loaded with a damp 26mm synthetic for 30 seconds off the dry puck and face-lathered for five minutes. I usually lather for around 10 minutes but was in a hurry. The resulting lather provided more than enough cushion and slickness. It will be interesting to see how the lather looks when I go with a more normal routine. But for now, I really don't have any complaints with the non-tallow version:
