Description
Tabac Original Shaving Foam is a classic men’s shaving foam made in Germany by Mäurer & Wirtz. It produces a creamy, fluffy lather that helps to soften coarse beard hair, making razor glides smoother and reducing risk of irritation and cuts. The scent is the iconic Tabac fragrance: spicy, woody with peppery accents, mingled with floral and citrus hints—think lavender, neroli, oak wood, bergamot. The foam is ready‑to‑use directly from the aerosol can and is designed to “prepare the beard for the blade,” giving a “barbershop feeling.”
