What soap/cream did you use today?

Penhaligon's Lords shaving soap (tallow)

The much maligned and beloved Tabac!  I’ve heard the scent called “old man” or “grandmas purse” but frankly I don’t understand the whole “dated” discussion when it comes to scents.  Isn’t The scent of popcorn  as pleasant in 1920 as it is today?  Were lilacs, admittedly beloved by the pioneer, any less amazingly fragrant now?  Then it has to stand that frags going “out of style” has to be more a function of advertising dollars than a change in olfactory genetics.  Thus I will always love good fragrances whether they be mixed in the 60’s or 2020.  Tabac is, was, and always will be a scent of masculine distinction.  The smell of a guy who knows and cares.  By the way, I’ve never heard a discouraging word about Tabac soaps performance!  Easy loading.  Easy lathering. Slick and protective.  It offers a huge range of water usage.  It rewards a gent that wants maximum performance but doesn’t punish the man who is new to soap and brush.  Packaging is spectacularly upscale.  And the darn stuff is always available.  Ahhh Tabac!

My favorite scent from Mystic Waters.

Your stuff performs so similar to Tabac!  Can’t imagine anyone not liking it.

El Jefe t. (Sir Henry’s Shave Soap) tobacco musk

Like TommyCarioca said a few days ago, El Jefe smells more like autumn leaves than a smoldering stogie. Stick your nose in the pot and you may get bits of leather and dried fruit, too. It’s sweet and pungent but still smooth with a definite spicy nuance. I get a hint of cinnamon. (If you’re sensitive to spicy scents, you may come away with some ruddy cheeks. Mine faded to pale within five minutes.) Maybe you tried Declaration Grooming’s Cuir et Épices or Darkfall, and you liked them but you thought they were a little too strong. Well give El Jefe a shot. On the olfactory scale it lands somewhere between those two scents but at a quieter register. The lather? Well, the lather’s supreme. Thick and glistening, it makes for a very comfortable shave that distinguished shavers happily compare to Tabac.
