I’ve been seeing a lot of Tabac usage lately, and it’s reminding me that I should get around to finally trying it out. But I also recall reading that they had changed the formula at some point relatively recently, event though it’s still labeled as “original”, is that right? If so, is it still worth getting, or are you guys all using the original original?

We’ve done a comparison on our podcast 🙂 i hesitate to recommend listening to it because it’s the second episode and we hadn’t figured audio yet 😅 Tl/dr: veggie Tabac is great, buy with confidence, or even better, wait for Stanksgiving and win a tub.

BTW: the tallow formula isn’t more “original”, and there have been reformulations before

  Man, speaking of things I’ve been meaning to do, I’ve been meaning to check out your podcast as well. So thank you for that reminder. Thank you as well for the heads up on stanksgiving. I haven’t been posting to Reddit since the before times, but I’ve begrudgingly been thinking I might as well. Now seems as good a time as any to start.

I bought a new formula Tabac soap, after having finished the old version tallow soap (in the simpler days, when I had only one soap). I haven’t yet tried the new version, but I have heard mostly good things. It seems to be less stanky™ that the old one, fwiw.

  Oh right, I’ve seen a lot of references to the “stank”. Is that from musk? I’ve noticed I don’t usually like soaps with musk in their profile.

    I have trouble distinguishing scents, but I don’t believe it is. At first contact, Tabac can be a bit overwhelming, but you’ll get used to it. It smells kind of old.

    I do too. The musk scents I haven’t liked have all had a note that reminded me of bad BO. Im intrigued by tabac and will probably get some soon. Worst case scenario I have to PIF it away.
