MWF or Tabac

[Gogo]

MWF all the way for me. Tabac irritated and dried out my skin. Easy choice for me.

 

[Schwert]

There is no question for me...MWF hands down.

Tabac is a mediocre soap in all areas except one...Scent, for that it wins as the most atrocious.

 

[Slick Rick]

I have both. Love both. But if I had to grab one, it would be Tabac.

MWF hands down.
I have bought both stick and soap bowl of Tabac and was the worst soap blind buy ever.
Really i don´t know why is so high rated...

41 to 48.....MWF on top!

 

[Zephyr]

This is like asking witch one of my kids I love most

But I must say Tabac because it to me appears slicker, and I love the scent

Can't we vote for both?

I will never e without MWF, Tabac and Cella!!!! All 3 have great qualities.

Today I will vote for Tabac... tomorrow???

Tough choice. I let tabac edge out MWF just because of the scent.

 

[Headcharge]

Have both and Tabac is my daily driver. Tabac all the way!

I instead purchased Jack Black based on smell because it smells fantastic, citrus heavenly happiness. The only problem however is the lather is very sudsy, maybe a problem with my hard water?

I know where YOU went!

The lady there gave me several Jack Black samples, and I decided to use some today on top of some Colonel Conk's soap. I had a LOT of lather from that combo, but as you say, it was pretty sudsy. Not sure what to think of that.

I started to use Tabac on top of the soap, but somehow I chickened out! Maybe it just didn't seem "appropriate"!

I love the smell of tabac, and it's a go to soap for me.

I think I've said this before on these forums, tabac smells like urinal cakes (lollies or whatever you call them). It is easy to lather, but it irritates the skin by the 3rd pass. I used it this morning, and unfortunately the scent is still lingering. I've been using it a lot lately just so that I wont have it any longer. And I still can't get over the opinion that it is well packaged. I took mine out of the bowl because it looks so cheap and tacky - mass produced. There's just nothing about it. And I hate to think of the horrendous chemicals that must be used to print that glossy box, along with the transparent plastic. MWF's packaging is much more humble, and IMHO much more classy.

I'm on my 2nd puck of MWF, and it is definitely a bit finicky. It pays to work out one's method and stick to it, rather than switching as I have done, from bowl to face, and back again, and again... I think I'll try and stick to bowl lathering from now since it's much easier to see and hear the difference between a good and mediocre lather.

dangit! I can't come out and play, I don't have MWF yet since the price point. Will have to get it soon!

MWF - better for scent and post feel
Tabac - better lather, better slickness. Overall better performer.

 

[luvmysuper]

No reason to have to choose. Both are great and both are reasonably priced.
Get both.

The FAT baby!

Tabac is an A+ soap with a C-/D+ scent.

Agreed, but that’s generous to me on the stench of granny’s boudoir.

 

[TexOkie Shaver]

I’ve never tried Tabac, so I can’t compare. When I found The Fat, I just knew it was the one. I get a good slick foundation even if I don’t get a good lather. I love the stuff.

If you like Tabac, go for it. The smell is a transient thing. Once you apply your aftershave or EDT and walk out of your shave den, the smell is gone, so what does scent matter?

 

[smudge]

That's like asking a parent to choose his favourite child - both are great soaps. Tabac by a whisker for me, as it's easier to lather and I like the scent.

 

[BigJ]

Another vote for the FAT!! Definitely a favorite around here!!

 

[Owen Bawn]

I wouldn't have begun the thread asking the question; I simply would have bought two of each soap back in April.
