I have shaved 3 times now with Tabac. Very nice lather. Builds quickly. Rich. I have loaded twice with the Marco method, and this morning with a drier boar brush and face lather to build. Once again good lather. My complaint is there seems to be a lack of slickness. Perfectly good shave, but the blade just does not glide. I don't know if my water is hard or not. Cella seems to be a bit better for me that way. Also, Sterling soaps. So, is it just Tabac, or is it me? Folks rave about Tabac, so I want to give it a good try. I just bought a puck of Mitchell's Wool, which people claim has a terrific slickness and post shave feel, so I will see about that. Thoughts here?
