@Steve56 not sure if a comparison with c&s is fair at all here. tabac mother corp has a portfolio of brands with long lasting tradition or followership, yes, 'drugstorey', but (a) brand(s) that run(s) imo way way deeper than c&s. the soap business is peanuts for c&s - basically a blatant cash grab (thats imo), if outside of their main business, luxury bath supplier, they are known for their fragrance if at all. the market for 200€+ fragrances is managable, the one for their shaving soaps outside of absolute enthusiasts market (and even there its minimal) marginal to non existent.
generally, i did not suggest that everyone hates the new formula - what i did, was that everyone that is bothered enough to make postings about it should instead use their contact channels and tell them. i did not suggest to write them a strongly worded letter or anything.
i personally am old enough and wetshave long enough (40y/20y) to know the last thing i do in this life is chasing a gd shaving soap. really, lets be serious here. but, i just have generally the view that with economic overproduction and underutilized production capacity in almost every gd sector under the sun, that it is a buyers market (def not only meant for shaving equip - broadly speaking - but also very very very true in the shaving world), and that buyers dont need to swallow everything if they are bothered by a move a corp is setting.
i have zero inside knowledge but would assume that tabac do own their soap. every move is a business move. business moves are normally soley money moves. the jaddajadda between marketing team press releases isnt worth anything sure not my time. maybe your wise friend (and i mean it) should add 'tell them what you think and then move on'. you set the action, you set the tone, its a buyers market, there are a gazillion soaps and you as a corp want to make business with me - thats why your corp exists. i am cool without you anyways.
@'neither one is really all that great' - great enough to have prob 20threads about it on uncountabale pages only on this board with people from everywhere participating. dont know many soaps that would repeat that just like that. if, we prob dont need two hands to count.
