New Tabac, New Luck

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original 2021 vegan formulation
  • Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original

The Tabac is dead, long live the Tabac. I stuck a puck of 2021 formulation vegan Tabac into the empty Stank Tank® and was taken aback by how heavy it feels now. These Tabac puck are bigger than I remembered.

Vegan Tabac is pretty similar to the tallow version, just a little bubblier, and either thirstier, or easier to load because it took me a longer than usual time to hydrate the lather. Well, some dialling in becoming necessary when switching bases was to be expected.

If the last puck can be used to predict the future, it'll take me about 15 months to finish this and try a puck of the 2024 formulation vegan Tabac.

Yes, some ingredients have been banned in the EU: https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/tabac-2024-reformulation.650496/post-12607991

There were also other soaps touched by this. Maybe The Fat? I forget

You could make freedom Tabac
