Let Tabactober Fest Begin!!

**deshaveman** · 09-30-2009, 04:43 AM

According to the world clock it is officially October 1st somewhere in the world! Specifically, our friends in New Zealand and Kamchatka in the Russian Federation can start whipping up that awesome Tabac lather as soon as they wake up!

For those of us in the US we have to wait at least another 18 hours.

Off we go!

I'll wait. That gives me 18 hours before I turn a year older and I don't want that! (too bad I can't do anything about it!

)

I kicked things off a little early. I couldn't control myself. I think I need help. Can you guys help me?

I jumped the gun too. Some how I think all is forgiven.

This should cover my feelings towards Tabac:

That's hilarious, I did the same thing. I started a day early because I was just sick and tired of waiting.

Happy Tabactober everyone!!!

I'm unable to do the whole month, but I'm going to kick it off with a fine Tabac shave in the morning!

**_JP_** · 09-30-2009, 06:11 PM

You spelled Taboctober wrong.

**inkwell** · 09-30-2009, 06:21 PM

**Will P.C.** · 09-30-2009, 06:29 PM

I just started using Tabac. I had a Vulvix 2233s but it was hard to get a good lather from it.. Now I am using a 20mm Finest Extra from Tony and man does this soap lather. I am hooked

**markb** · 09-30-2009, 06:29 PM

YES!!!

Whoa! You are the first person I have ever heard of that has a reaction to Tabac! I have reactions to other soaps....but not Tabac (thank GOD). Do you think it is the FOs used to scent it? You can still get the awesome performance of Tabac with a different, greener scent in the form of Irisch Moos. The new stuff is made by Maurer and Wirtz just like Tabac. I hear it is a little hard to track down in the States.

**McShaverson** · 09-30-2009, 06:36 PM

This is going to be a good month, I can feel it.

**Ulysses** · 09-30-2009, 06:54 PM

I just caved in and bought the soap, so I'll be starting a few days late. I've been wanting to try this one for ages. Hopefully I'll be making a second order for the AS and Cologne in a week or two.

(By the way, for anyone else that wants to get the soap but hasn't yet, you can get it shipped in the bowl for under $14.00 from fragrancex.com using the code "free" for free shipping.)

That is a great deal. It is actually cheaper than in Germany.

Yes, you should get the whole range. Nothing goes better with Tabac shaving soap except more Tabac products.

Used one at a time, they are good ... but think of them in a musical analogy. Each piano, violin, trumpet, flute, etc sounds good by itself, but put them all together in concert, and the result is much better. Its truly an example of where the value of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Order the Luxury Bath Soap, too ... from dridiot's eBay store. It cost me $17 and a 13 day wait for it to be shipped here from Singapore, and all I can say is ... "Its worth it."

And I'm still trying to find a North American source for Tabac AS Balm.

Happy Tabactober everyone!!!

One hour, forty-six minutes to go.

**BROWNS** · 09-30-2009, 10:54 PM

I have 11 different TOBS cream samples coming tomorrow, I hope you can all appreciate my dedication by not shaving with them until November...

**cymric** · 10-01-2009, 01:52 AM

They're basically the same cream anyway (save for the Avocado and Hypoallergenic), so you have but 3 samples waiting on you. There, a 75% reduction of your sample collection in half a minute.
