They still call the new formula Tabac Original which I think is misleading. The new "vegan" Tabac is a white puck whereas the old tallow Tabac was a cream coloured puck. They are completely different soaps and the new Tabac is not as good as the old Tabac. The new formula produces a lather that is inferior in every way to the old formula.I purchased the Tabac original.
Why don't you try shaving with itHow does one tell whether Tabac has enough water added? I'm mostly relying on the shine and how much resistance the brush offers in the bowl, but I think I'm still under-watering it.
just add more and more... until it gets runny and thin. Then next time, use a little less water ;-) It takes quite some water before you get to that point, trust me.How does one tell whether Tabac has enough water added?

I don't ever rely on color. It's all about feel. The brush should glide on your face like ice. That's when you know it's ready.How does one tell whether Tabac has enough water added?

Try bringing the lather to the stage where if you added any more water, it would run off your face instead of staying put. The lather should have a sheen to it.How does one tell whether Tabac has enough water added?

Hi Ngiovas,I have been using shaving creams for several years, but recently decided to try Tabac as I have seen it recommended several times. I have used it a few times now, but I am not getting a good lather and it isn't lubricating the razor. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a better lather and ultimately a better, smoother shave with Tabac?
For reference, I am using a best badger brush that is soaked in hot water while I shower. I then put some hot water in the soap dish with the puck for a couple of minutes before starting to shave. The first time I tried Tabac, I tried getting some soap in the brush and then creating lather in a bowl, but that didn't work well at all. The next couple of times I tried creating the lather right on the puck which was better, but the shave still felt very dry.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
Nick
