Octidi 28 Brumaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Coing


Somehow, I got the idea of using a rose-scented soap today. I don't have the matching aftershave, so I wondered: roses are flowers, which aftershave is floral? Yes, Tabac. I was apprehensive of the result, but it doesn't match too badly. However, it doesn't leave much of the more delicate rose-scent lingering around.

Have a good night!

Hah! I think maybe @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social has combined Tabac aftershave/EdT with non-Tabac soap scents successfully, but I would expect Tabac to overwhelm all scents that aren't Tabac :)

If you ask me, @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social overlooked the obvious: Tabac Man Gravity, Tabac's 🌹

I only know of this because I’ve seen you use it.

Eh, you didn't miss out on much. None of the Tabac Man scents can keep up with the Original's glory if you ask me.

Good to know. Thanks for doing triage for us :)
