Yes, sounds very similar to Tabac, Although I like the smell of Tabac I would prefer SIM scent.That's exactly what I've read, I must admit that I haven't tried Tabac yet, but it's on a must try list. SIM is very slick and cushioning, it's easily the best product I've tried in stick form, and effortlessly produces enough lather for a good 3 pass shave.
Meissner is excellent, particularly the paste
Marmite.The description of Strong & Scottish is enticing.
