Ok i got the package and the first thing i did was smell the tabac and it smells great so then i preped my face then lathered up and i didnt even have to try to get it to lather it lathers by it self and minimum effort on my part. Then i shaved down then up and only up on my neck.and i got a really close shave and my skin felt really good. The blade i usesd was the platinum super . The Tabac is my new favorite shave soap. Other soap disipates but the tabac just starts to dry if you leave it too long. Thank you guys for the great opportunity and the great soap i love the way the razor and blades shave
