Tabac is the soap I’ve used the most since I started wet shaving. It’s dependable, cheap, efficient and leaves my face very soft and close, all day long. My preference is for the shave stick, I will never be without one!

This is interesting because when applying the stick to my face I get a bit of a burn. That does lessen when lathering up but it's never been an issue with the pick. Now I know why
rub puck on your face, like stick, and it will have the same effect. of course it's different...you are rubbing stick on your face and then make lather, and with puck you are rubbing brush against the soap and then make lather on the face/in the bowl.This is interesting because when applying the stick to my face I get a bit of a burn.

The sticks will lose moisture content over time, i.e. dry out, and lose their scent.
The best you could do is vacuum-seal the items and refrigerate them.
If that's not possible, put them in close fitting containers, such as a zip-lock bags or jars, and refrigerate.
I should not recommend freezing, even if sealed.
Perhaps you could just sell off the extras.
Some might say that losing the scent wouldn't be such a bad thing....
For stick, nothing...just close the lid after using. For puck, well, the same
But all in all, stick has little bit stronger scent than puck even when freshly opened. Puck is more mellow.Sent from my Y7 using Tapatalk
Tabac=quality soap.
Performance and smell are fantastic for me. I consistently get a great lather from it. It is as good as the current artisan soaps in performance if not better. I also like the Palmolive shave stick as performance is superb and the smell is light and unobtrusive. I panicked after hearing about the factory closing down and ordered few refills of Tabac. It will always have a place in my rotation.
I would vacuum seal them and then put them in the freezer. I think that will preserve the scent better than anything else.
Just curious why you wouldn't freeze them? Not trying to start an argument just wanting to learn given that one of the common things to do to make a Cella brick last is to freeze it.
I load it heavy and off load it to a lather bowl. Add lots of water and lather it untill the water is absorbed. Never fails me.
Factory closing down?When?I need to stock up!
Supposedly it will not affect them is what I heard last. It is the same factory where the Fine soaps were made. Here is an article.

Oh boy.... my nightmares come true.
Well I found a source to get them for 8.50€ (Greece) so 10 more coming in!
I agree. If I could only have one soap, it would be Tabac.
Haslinger would be my second choice.

You guys are killing me!
I have tried most of the big traditional soaps and creams but I have never tried Tabac. My fear is that very perfumed creams/soaps can give me irritation. Anyone ever experienced this with Tabac?
Not me. I get a slight irritation from some citrusy soaps, but I never had any kind of irritation from Tabac.
Tabac was and still is made by Dalli (vs Dreiring, defunct maker of Fine).
