Product Overview

Tabac Original Shaving Bowl & Soap - 125g

Product

Tabac Original Shaving Soap whips up easily to provide an especially smooth and lubricating lather. This is a tallow based shaving soap (which is harder to find these days). Tallow ensures an easy, enduring lather but also acts as a natural lubricant to improve razor glide preventing small nicks and cuts. This is the 125g Shaving soap supplied in a classic white ceramic pot with contrasting dark brown lid. Refills are available separately. Made by Mäurer & Wirtz in Germany since 1959.

How to use

Product should be used directly from pot and simply work the top of the soap with a wet (not soaking) shaving brush until the bristles are 'loaded' with shaving soap. Now apply the soap to the areas to be shaved, using  the shaving brush in a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving. When finished, briefly rinse the top of the soap and pour excess water off before replacing the top.

Recommended for

All skin types

Grooming Tip

After your first lather and shave (called a pass) slightly water down the lather and then re-apply for a second pass to get a really close shave.

    best barbershop shave

    Posted by Nick Malnati on 6th Jan 2023

    I think this is the best Barbershop shave. Classic scent, refreshing and comment-able super close shave. The result speaks for itself every time. Feels like I am transported to the early 1900's with the straight razor shave I give myself.

    the best soap ever

    Posted by Gary on 15th Jun 2022

    I have memories of splashing on Tabac lotion as a young man and enjoying its wonderful aromatic scents so when Tabac shaving soap came up in my search i did research on the brand and was so impressed by many reviews i thought well why not, treat myself, so i did. Shopping through Maguires Barbershop was a breeze, communications were ckear and orompt. The delivery was very fast indeed and the packaging was incredible, so well packed. Well i had a wet shave and this soap is without question the best i have ever used in 40 years of shaving. It lathers up quickly and covers my face with a silky soapy foam. The smell is amazing and lasts for hours. I was so impressed with Maguires that ive purchased the Tabac aftershave. I will definitely reorder when the need arrises. First class guys thank you
