Haslinger Aloe Vera vs Tabac stick?

[Komm]

hello guys,

just asking out of curiosity, what would you choose if you had to choose between Haslinger Aloe Vera and a Tabac stick? which one is better in terms of slickness, cushioning and after-shave feeling?

thanks

I’d go with Haslinger Aloe Vera. It’s excellent.

+1! Tabac is fine, but Haslinger’s just works better for me also!!

+3 on Tabac. Any other choice is just plain ignorant.

Haslinger aloe gets my vote

Clearly Haslinger, no doubt.
Primarily because of better lubrication.

After all, you wanted a comparison of Haslinger soap (puck) against the Tabac shaving stick.
And while I consider the Tabac stick one of the best shaving sticks out there, it is still just that - a shaving stick and therefore in my book a space saving compromise that sacrifices some of the lubrication that Tabac soap has.

The comparison would be closer if I had to compare Haslinger soap against Tabac shaving soap, but I would probably still give Haslinger the edge.

Both are excellent in their own way, have their own different strengths, and therefore do not compare that well.

I haven't tried either, but I'd go for Haslinger. I don't like strongly scented soaps.

It's pretty close in my opinion, with Tabac having a slight edge. Both are great, hard to go wrong here.

For me it would be a tossup. Just get both (B&B standard reply) and see for yourself.

Hasslinger’s. But only the Aloe Vera. It’s the only Hasslinger’s scent I can stand.

I hate Tabac’s scent. Too much to put up with for the quality of it otherwise.

They’re both top tier soaps, use what you like. I keep my Hasslinger sticked.

Haslinger Aloe is a very nice soap with a very mild scent. Tabac is a whole different animal altogether. Stick vs Puck is like apples and oranges also, two different approaches to making lather. As a Tabac-phile myself, the stick doesn't perform as well as the puck and the puck doesn't provide the same overall shave quality of the Haslinger Aloe, where post-shave is concerned. Tabac always lathers ridiculously fast though. I'd go for the Haslinger if you don't mind blooming and loading it from a container, it's also very hard and seems to last a very long time.

If a shave stick is what you desire, get neither. Get a stick of Speick; the best shave soap I've used to date, without question. It's all-business soap with great scent, protection, and post-shave feel. I love it so much I grind it into a tub and then load it from there. On the left, Haslinger Aloe, on the right 2 Speick sticks, that never stood a chance as sticks.

I’ve not used Haslinger Aloe but Schafmilch is in my modest rotation of four soaps along with Tabac. I would hate to have make a choice between the to but the Haslinger would likely edge out Tabac based on a slight performance preference. Fortunately, I won’t have to make that choice. My other two soaps are MWF and Arko.
