I had never smelled Tabac before I purchased this, so I was a little leary. There are some comparisons made to an "old woman's purse" when the scent is described. However, the overwhelmingly high reputation for the lathering ability of this soap forced me to give it a try anyway. I'm glad I did, as this is now my go-to soap for day-to-day use (I do use other soaps when i want to mix it up a bit). If you have trouble making lather with other shaving soaps, try this one, it's pretty much a no-brainer. Rich, dense, creamy lather with minimal effort. I've been using soap/brush for over twenty years, and Tabac is my new benchmark for lather quality. My lathering procedure: I soak my boar brush (Semogue 620) in warm water while I'm showering. I'll also put a few drops of water on top of the soap, not much, just a flick of water off of my fingers. After the shower, I'll shake all the excess water off of my brush and swirl it around on top of the soap for 10-15 seconds. I'm not timing it, or anything, just loading the brush. I'll then splash just a bit more water onto the brush and start working the brush on my face, doing swirls and a painting motion to work the soap into dense lather that has the consistency of yogurt. With a little bit of practice/experience, you can easily build enough lather in your brush to do multiple shaving passes. Some people work up the lather in their hand, or use a mug/bowl. Those work great also, I just prefer to face-lather. I use a DE razor to shave with, so the slickness that is provided by a nice rich soap lather makes for a much more comfortable shave. Tabac soap provides great slickness. Even after a pass of the blade, there's a ton of residual slickness to allow a touch-up or buff without necessarily re-applying the lather. Once properly made, Tabac's lather is amazingly dense, and long-lasting. If you find that it isn't slick enough for you, add a bit more water to your brush. The scent of Tabac is mostly just "old-fashioned soap", in my opinion. There's some powder, a bit of lavender in the background, along with other woody/floral notes. I've read some reviews where people note that they smell "cigarette smoke" but I do not get that at all. I get some tobacco flower in with the woody/floral notes, but not cigarette or smoke. At any rate, after rinsing off when my shave is complete, there's minimal lingering aroma from the soap, and after applying aftershave, it's all gone completely. I do like the scent of Tabac, but even if I didn't, the quality of the lather far outweighs any downside the scent may have for some folks, I think. I highly recommend Tabac shave soap. Scents are a personal thing, so I can't really recommend that part of it. The things I look for in a shave soap are all here, though. One final thing to comment on; This is a very dense puck of soap. It will last a tremendously long time, and give many months of regular use. I've probably used this at least 60 times, and I don't think I've even used a third of the soap. In a cost-per-shave analysis, this sure is hard to beat, if you are somebody who tracks that sort of thing.

¡Ojo! Este famoso jabón de afeitado, de los duros, de triple prensado y con base de sebo (existen otros muchos jabones con base vegetal, pero la base de sebo suele producir una espuma más densa y protectora), no huele a tabaco. No obstante es un verdadero clásico desde hace muchas décadas y ofrece una buena calidad a un precio no excesivo. Resulta casi obligatorio probarlo si te has pasado al afeitado con maquinillas de doble filo o con "shavette" o, incluso, y con más motivo, o con navaja barbera. Como digo, proporciona una buena espuma, densa y protectora. Tiene sus incondicionales, entre los que me cuento, pero su fragancia no entusiasma a todos. No obstante, dado que es un clásico (y por algo será), creo que lo mejor es probarlo y formarse su propia opinión. Las buenas prestaciones están aseguradas. Además resulta particularmente fácil de montar con cualquier brocha.

Excellent lather, good moist feel on skin after the shave.
