Tabac with bowl

**TSWebster** · 09-09-2008, 08:12 PM

Does anyone know an online vendor that sells Tabac in the ceramic bowl? All I can find anywhere are the refills.

shavingessentials.net has the bowl and at a very good price as well...

Thanks for that, I'll email them about an international order right now.

+1. Every time I order from there they send TONS of samples and extras. Plus, while you're there, you can pick up hard-to-find brands like Mitchell's Wool Fat and Institute Karite.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the part where you're listed in Canberra,Oz. Shipping to Oz may be pricey and you can't order straight off of the website if you're an international customer. If you're willing to settle for just a refill, Fragrance X has the soap listed for $7.99, with complimentary international shipping with the coupon code 'FREE'.

I'm willing to pay high shipping the first time in order to get the bowl.

After that I can just buy cheap refills as needed.

Hey TSWebster, We love our Aussie friends. BTW, we are going on vacation on Thursday - after that we won't fulfill orders until 9/22.

**TSWebster** · 09-11-2008, 08:21 AM

Enjoy the vacation, I look forward to getting the soap after you get back.

Emily over at EmsPlace.com has the bowl and refills. Great price and great service as well. Just FYI.

Also try Shavemac.com, is in Germany, maybe shipping would be cheaper.

If I'm not mistaken, Em's charging $20.95 for the soap in bowl, and $7.95 for shipping. Shaving Essentials also charges $7.95 for shipping, but only $15.99 for the soap/bowl combo.

Em's Place wouldn't be an option, anyway. The last time I checked, Emily doesn't ship orders internationally or to Canada. Too much hassle with customs, apparently.

I picked up a bowl yestarday at Pasteures in NY for $35. Expensive but no shipping to deal with. Shaved with it the first time today...very impressed. I found refills at fragrancex.com for $7.99 with free shipping (they don't have the bowl).

I can't get stuff from vintageblades either, sometimes I really hate customs.

Do you want just the bowl? I have an empty one I'd be willing to send your way.... it's actually made of glass, not ceramic material. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I've got dibs if he doesn't. I got a refill puck recently as my first Tabac.. wanted to see if I liked it first and I do. I imagine I'll always have a puck of Tabac around now... and maybe the cologne too one day.

**lamontqsanford** · 09-12-2008, 03:31 PM

Shaving essentials. I just ordered and received one from them. Cheapest I found and they threw in several samples of soaps and aftershave splash. They also included a hand written thank you note---very classy IMHO.

**rm71** · 09-12-2008, 05:30 PM

+1 for shavingessentials. Top blokes. I got my Tabac from Charles at QED before shavingessentials stocked it. Your bigger concern is not the shipping IMO, but the exchage rate... It's dropped almost 20% against the US dollar

It's stopped my shaving purchases from the US dead in it's tracks...
