I'm sure you probably know but just in case Tabacs gone vegan.
Yes, I heard. Just picked up one more puck to have a spare on hand. A certain well-regarded vendor in Michigan confirmed for me they still have the tallow-based formula in stock (in case anyone else is looking).
Hopefully the vegan formula turns out to be excellent as well. Haslinger made a similar transition not too long ago and from what I hear people are very happy with the new formula.
What I wish Maurer & Wirtz had done instead though is take a page out of Cella's book and maintain the original as is but come out with a second vegan option in another scent (i.e. Cella's "Extra Extra Bio"). Tabac has a range of other fragrances under the label already (The Fragrances of the Brand Tabac – Mäurer & Wirtz - https://www.m-w.de/en/brands/tabac/, worth a look), they could have easily chosen one of these for the vegan option and left the original unchanged. Truthfully, I think this may have been the smarter business decision purely from the standpoint of overall sales -- the original scent is polarizing and turns off a fair number of potential customers who are otherwise intrigued by the performance of the soap -- not to mention that it would avoid the risk of alienating a very loyal existing customer base.
I'll never be without WMS or MWF.

I haven’t used it in a quite awhile, but the data speaks for itself:
Speick
The Fat is the only one that I stray from that I keep coming back to. I’ve found a couple of others that are just as slick, but they cost half again as much and don’t last nearly as long.
La Toja, Haslinger and Ach. Brito. 
I could not see myself being without MWF or Stirling Electric Sheep.
Tabac, MWF, Proraso, Cella and Saponificio Varesino
I don't think I've been in this game for long enough to claim there are any soaps in my den that "I always come back to".
As a matter of fact, I don't have a single puck/tub of soap I've ordered more than once (samples not counting), since I've started this hobby some 3 years ago.
That being said, I can foresee re-ordering SV and MdC at some point in a very distant future, as these pucks last "forever".
I use TOBS sticks (Sandalwood and St, James) for travel (and for fun) and love them both. IME, these don't last very long, so I'll be definitely re-ordering some of those guys soon.
As for soft-soaps/croaps, A&E and Stirling are my favorite brands, and so I can foresee myself getting more of those.
I'm enjoying my journey

MWF, won't part with it, but won't use it regularly. I still come back to it though once in a while. Then put it away again.
Everything else is in the rotation.
