Product Information
Full details
The Tabac Original Shaving Soap 125g Refill is designed for traditional wet shavers who appreciate a classic, masculine scent and a high-performance lather. It is ideal for those who already own a Tabac bowl or an empty soap container and want to maintain a superior grooming routine. While it offers an exceptionally smooth shave, users should note that the soap requires a high-quality shaving brush and warm water to generate the richest lather, making it less ideal for those who prefer quick, brushless aerosol foams.

FAQs
Is this a full set or just the soap?
This product is a 125g refill puck only; it does not include the bowl.
Can I use this without a shaving brush?
While technically possible to apply by hand, it is highly recommended to use a shaving brush to build the proper lather necessary for a comfortable shave.
How long will one 125g puck last?
With daily use, a single puck typically lasts between 4 to 6 months depending on how much soap is used per shave.
Is the scent overpowering?
Tabac Original has a distinctive and robust fragrance. It is quite noticeable upon application, though it fades to a subtle scent after the shave.
Will this soap dry out my skin?
The formulation is designed to be protective, but as with any soap, moisturizing with an aftershave balm post-shave is recommended for those with very dry skin.
Troubleshooting
Lather is too thin or airy
Add more soap to the brush by loading for a longer duration, and use slightly less water.
Soap has become too soft or mushy
Ensure you are shaking excess water off your brush before loading, and leave the bowl open after use to air dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Iconic, long-lasting scent profile
- Creates a stable and dense lather quickly
- Cost-effective refill format

Cons
- Requires a traditional shaving brush to use effectively
- The scent is strong and may not appeal to those who prefer fragrance-free products

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this 125g refill, simply place the puck into your existing Tabac Original porcelain or glass bowl. If you are using a generic container, ensure the diameter is at least 3 inches to allow the brush to move freely. For long-term care, leave the container uncovered for an hour after shaving to allow the soap to dry completely; this preserves the texture and prevents the soap from softening too much. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the scent.
