Felt like a good day for Tabac so I went all in. Even my cold water is running warm so a little cooling from the UO was really nice. Second shave with the Nacet blade and this was much better. I'm thinking the poor lather last time just didn't give the blade what it needed to provide a good shave. I am once again DDBBS and smelling great.

You're making it so tempting to use Tabac tomorrow. I'll have to flip a coin.

I'm not crazy about Tabac either. I have a stick of it from the October shave theme but..............
haha I avoided it for a long time, pureing based on it's polarizing reputation and my assumption that anything with tobbaco was going to smell like an ash tray. Then i was buying a replacement bottle of perfume for my wife and the shop had a BOGO sale so while seeing if they had something i finally got a smell of the EdC and was surprised that i liked it.

Yeah, I don't hate it but just meh to me so it wasn't as polarizing as is led to believe
I prefer to think of it as classic.
For me it's just too sweet. The first time I tried it my wife said that it smelled like Old Man Sweet. I am just not a fan.

I haven't tried Tabac yet. Is it like a pipe tobacco scent?

No, not pipe tobacco. I think I’ve read tobacco flower. It’s more if a floral scent. I don’t get the whole ashtray thing.

No it doesn't. Stop being so dramatic.
