The TSF gang made it a lot further than I'd have predicted. Reaching fourth place and surviving last year's champion is really impressive. I'm curious to see where the TSFers will bring their votes going forward. I feel like 2025 is probably the last March Madness where TSF is an outsider and underdog.

Today's Tabac Wednesday is brought by the Deutsche Post which lost the BVWSC smushes for the March meeting, and Tabac is our fallback choice. The Glorious Old Man Stank®, Ol' Reliable, The Stank®, no matter which name you use, Tabac has a weird beloved and hated place in our community. I happen to really enjoy the scent, but I'm less convinced by the vegan formulation. I know that the lather is still slick but the bubbly structure bothers me. After this tub of vegan formulation is done, I'll revert to my tallow pucks and their glistening wet lather in the hopes that there will be a less frothy re-reformulation before I run out.
Have a great Wednesday all and congrats to TSF for a astonishing success.
I got out my Tabac, and sniffing it made me smile. Looking forward to the shave!
😊
