In preparing for Tabactober, I have some questions. I've got the new formula soap and a tiny (50ml) squeeze tube of balm. I've found a shop that seems to have stock of the Tabac line. I'd like to have the trifecta and I'm a aftershave-and-balm type of guy. I don't want to knock down my coworkers with this scent but I'd like to spend these days with the scent. The questions:

  • Aftershave - this is the splash on your face format?
  • EdC - this is the stronger, dab a few places format?
  • EdT - this is the weaker, spray on?
  • Aftershave+balm and EdC or EdT - do you think this would be an offensive level of Tabac?

Thanks in advance!

an offensive level of Tabac

I believe that I'm speaking in behalf of everyone when I say that there is no such thing as an offensive level of Tabac

Generally, strength in perfumes should be:

Eau de Cologne < Eau de Toilette < Eau de Parfum

Yes, the aftershave is an alcohol-based splash. I have it and enjoy it.

I also have the EdC and don't think it would be an offensive level of Tabac unless you really doused yourself in it.

I do not like all the sotd posts. I wish we just had general discussion instead.

Be the change. Create a post and start a discussion.

The Free Talk Friday threads like this one are a carry-over from Reddit, and the general purpose is for non-shaving related things that you want to talk about or get off your chest.

Anything shaving related is allowed in its own post, but combining all of the SOTDs into daily threads means we don't clutter up the fediverse with people's shaves.

That being said, there's no rule (or at least I don't think there is... I think I deleted it from the sidebar) saying you can't post your SOTD outside of the SOTD thread if that's what you want to do! Have at it.
