It's been a while since I reached for Tabac and every time I do Im Reminded of just how good this soap is. Loading is easy off this hard puck. Lather is high structure and really feels luxuriously fluffy. I hear some state that the slickness is lacking. Well folks, it AINT! I see this happen lots with hard pucks that lather big. A longer load will usually improve slickness and this is a soap that appears ready to go before there is enough soap in the brush. Scent strength is 8/10 and lasts. Scent seems to be polar on this one but for the life of me I implore if you don't like the scent of Tabac get to a doctor and get it fixed. This is an awesome fougere leaning on the floral side but man does this smell like a MAN! Timeless, efficacious, masculine. I noted in the pic that tabac states "since 1959" which is just about everything in the photo. The Fat Boy is a 1960. The brush most likely is not quite that old but might be. It's a Peerless I picked up in TX and stuffed a maggard badger/boar mixed 24mm knot in.

Crema Soffice da Pennello v. (Acqua di Parma) citrus, lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, menthol
The soap smells like a very light version of AdP's famous cologne. Nice but not very exciting. Much more interesting is the menthol that leaves you with a fresh feel happily short of a goosebumpy chill. The cream itself makes a light, close lather that gives a great shave. I'm chipping away at a small sample. Will I shell out for a full tub? Probably not. Although it works fine, It's not hard to find a soap that matches the performance and betters the scent for a fraction of the cost.
