Where is the Tallow?!

[old_school]

Have you tried these? I’m intrigued.

Nope, I'm with you on these.

Haven't tried VDL, specifically, but it should be very good if indeed it's the same as vintage Fine (which was very good, imo).
Online reviews are positive, albeit limited.

So when are we getting a review of the new stuff?

There's a separate thread with reviews for the new tallowless formula. Never tried tabac, but have a puck coming today fingers crossed

You’ll be heading towards Vegan Tabac Neverland soon.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
If you get a tallow tabac puck, you might be surprised by the immense scent strength of the new puck (I was). Even if it's too strong for your taste, don't hesitate to shave with it.... it will air out a bit in a few weeks anyway....

@all: Tomorrow is Tuesday again... don't forget Tallow Tabac Tuesday.

Tallow Tabac Tuesdays

It is a turning point. I resisted the idea at first, but finally I had to face it. Mäurer & Wirtz have let Tabac, loved by many for its fragrance and revered for its performance, die... Now the popular saying goes that a deceased is not dead as long as there are people who knew the deceased and...

It's a tallow puck

I enjoy non-tallow and tallow based soaps from a wide variety of manufacturers. As I said earlier, I don't chase Unicorns so when I eventually run out of my tallow based Tabac, that will be it. There are other tallow based soaps that I like as much as Tabac and I am always trying different tallow (and non-tallow) based soaps.

Well I cleared out Bullgoose. Should be enough to last me several years at least.

Slight setback…. I ordered a puck of the new formula to test it( I have a stash of the old one)

my parcel showed up but… it wasn’t my parcel. Someone else is hoarding Tabac but the old formula (shave sticks refills). No new puck!

the shipping label is mine, the order slip inside is for some else. I’ve contacted the seller, someone else got my puck(and a few other things).

Good news!

The right parcel showed up today with the new formulation of Tabac.

I have a review to finish with a shave stick but will then move to Tabac and to some tests between the previous and current versions.

If anyone is still looking, I just saw an update from The Razor Company that they are now restocked with tallow Tabac

Hi guys, I was following the thread at some point and today I went shopping with my wife. I was aware of the non-tallow version and wanted to see what's up in the shops around me with the Tabac. I'm living in Germany and we were at very wide spreaded chainstore about cosmetics and household. I saw some Tabac things and quickly headed this way. There were the stick refill and puck refill. For my surprise the stick was the tallow one and the puck refill was the new formula, and decided to try the stick (old formula) as I have never tried Tabac, because of the "smell", one time in the past I took a sniff at it and it was very unpleasant. This time knowing some pros and cons of the soap, and given the thread, I was ready to overcome the smell and try the quality of it and it was really worth it (the shaving was superb, in smell compartment loses big time). I'm not going to stock up on them, but for the folks, who want to do it and live in Germany also, can check in the orange store for cosmetics and make some stash before the Tabocalypse become reality.

Yes, Müller is restocking the puck with the new formula now for a couple of weeks but the sticks are still the old formula.

Question is now will the sticks also be replaced or does M&W let them quietly die…

Bullgoose might still have a few left with the bowl. I just got these today.

So what else is on the chopping block radar? Maybe I need to lay in a few dozen sticks of Arko too.

Yes you should. I heard a rumour from a Turkish friend of mine in North Korea that ARKO soap may not be available within the next 87 years.

Remember, you heard about this first here.

 

[steveclarkus]

Where is the tallow? Arko has cornered the tallow market. Suggest buying stock NOW!

 

[VerbaVolant]

Well... to me, it looks like the door to good value soaps is slowly and painfully closing on us. Mind your fingers...

 

[chetman]

I think that when introducing a new formula, many people give up this soap, there are better companies that produce vegan soaps. For me, Tabac was always associated with the old formula, it was the perfect soap at a good price, a great pity for me and probably for most people who use tabac

 

[Trem]

there are better companies that produce vegan soaps.

A fair question to ask here though is: what exactly do you mean by "better" companies in this context?

Many here (although granted, not all) are finding the new formula to be an excellent performing soap in its own right. Is this a value judgment on the company itself (Mäurer & Wirtz) rather than the individual product?
