I am going with the stuff in the tube. I ordered a tube of it and a tube Of Irisch Moos. I am going to give them both a good sniff and then decide which one gets used first. Does all Tabac smell the same despite what form it comes in?
You want the soap, not the cream.
I am a few years in and the urge to order is still strong. I like tabac best in winter.Can't wait to get it in. Have read mixed reviews of the smell, but decided to give it a shot. Also can't wait until this panama cream gets in stock that someone mentioned earlier as I'm anxious to try it out. I'm two weeks into this and it's like I have a urge to order something new every chance I get.
+1Do yourself a favor and get the shave stick. Far less expensive and one of the best shave sticks you will ever find

You can save a little more by getting the refill

I started with the refill and when I needed another got the plastic housing with the stick inside
Refill puck will be a little more expensive
