I got my first 2 tabac refill pucks. Have not tried the soap yet, but the smell is petty darn good. It smells like perfume or cologne to me, so I have no idea why some people are saying this shaving soap has a bad smell. I was hesitant to try this shaving soap as quite a few people have said it smelled really bad. I really have no idea what they are talking about. I will report back after I shaved with it. I just wanted to comment on the smell of the soap.
