I suggest just using it until it breaks and then either super gluing it together or acquiring / making a new lid.
For me, it wouldn't be worth contacting a vendor or manufacturer.

Genius!@Doug135, I found a Tabac Razor Stand design for 3D printing.

As you can see, it includes a razor and brush stand along with the Tabac lid. I plan to modify the design to only print the lid. I'll let you know how it goes. If you have a 3D printer (or know someone who does), I can email you a copy of the updated file. If you're interested, I can send you a copy of the finished product.
Edit: you could also email the original designer and ask them to make the modifications for you.
I've learned a LOT from this thread! Most amazing thing to me is the idea of WOOD in plastic for home printing.Great customer service, if they're mailing out a lid, that who knows is how old.
Sort of surprised it actually cracked, assuming nothing heavy way put atop or dropped on it. I'd expect wood to perhaps split like that, but not plastic resin, with or without wood particles in it. - I've 3D Printed a couple of razor handles using wood encapsulated PLA, which have been dropped repeatedly, and not a one suffered so much as a bad dent, let along crack. (And my 3D Printer is a cheapo model from Amazon, which isn't the smoothest printing).
I'm only on my 3rd(?) puck, in my Tabac bowl, and no problems thus far.
I still remember the galvanized steel trash cans we had to lug out to the curb for the garbage men to collect. Back then they had to physically lift each can to dump in the back of the truck.I've learned a LOT from this thread! Most amazing thing to me is the idea of WOOD in plastic for home printing.
On a related note: I think I've said this somewhere on here, but a few years back my son was in a hurry getting the garbage out, and he ripped the lid off of a "Hefty" step on garbage can. It broke where it connects to the bar in the back. All plastic, well made. The War Department was not happy, as she had literally just bought the thing! It was the first bag of garbage to come out of the thing! Being the peace maker of the family, I said I'd take care of it. Being the procrastinator of the family, this took MONTHS, lol.
War Department said fix it, buy a new one, or YOU are going out with the trash this week, bucko!
So I went online, looked up the model number, and got an email for the Hefty company. I emailed them, asked if I could buy a new top for this perfectly fine bottom of a trash can. Explained that my son was probably mad about taking out the trash and it was all his fault, and I'd take it out of his allowance.
A few hours later, I get an email, asking for my home address! Then about 3 days later (the return address was literally right next to the headquarters of my old company I worked for. WE SHARED A PARKING LOT AND DRIVEWAY!) Small world!
Moral of the story: "You have not because you ask not."
Just to be clear, the "genius" here is the original designer; I just found it online because I knew where to look and was able to make the modifications to meet my needs.Genius!
Okay, how's "very clever"?Just to be clear, the "genius" here is the original designer; I just found it online because I knew where to look and was able to make the modifications to meet my needs.
When did Anne move to Maurer & Wirtz?...I contacted Tabac yesterday, and they responded today indicating they thought the problem may have been caused by not letting the soap dry prior to replacing the lid...
I love this place!
Where else would dozens of adults discuss the defective lid from a jar of soap?
Leave it. Looks cool. Like the Liberty Bell.
Are we saying that Maurer & Wirtz advise that the lid should not be replaced before the soap is dry otherwise the lid could crack? If so then I am very surprised.I contacted Tabac yesterday, and they responded today indicating they thought the problem may have been caused by not letting the soap dry prior to replacing the lid.
