A Tabac dupe?!?! And I hear about this only now?!
Damnit, now I’ll have to find a tub and investigate…

I agree about Reserve. It’s a great base, and it was even specifically designed to be easy to lather… but Omnibus beats it in ease of use.
Congrats on no cigarettes for almost a year! Sounds like a New Year’s resolution that stuck?

If you want, I could send you a small sample tub of it. Just don’t expect it to arrive soon, Christmas has DHL flooded and I have a lot of personal issues to deal with atm…

That would be very kind, thanks! It turns out not to be easy to find a tub 😅
And yes, you have a lot going on right now, and I’m not in any hurry.
Can I send you something in return?

No problem. It’s one of my least used soaps, actually it was a PIF by Semaj3000. I’ll try to ship it by this weekend. And no thanks, you’ve already helped me very much with the DG Unscented soap. I’m fine 😁

In my opinion, it’s a clear dupe of Tabac. I only have the soap stick to compare, but it’s definitely too similar to be a coincidence.
Reserve is easy to lather if you aren’t as nervous and rushed as I am nowadays 😅 I hope things will get better for me soon.
As for the cigarettes: it mostly annoyed me that I resumed smoking due to my work in nursing. Residents also complained about the smell of cold smoke when I was near them. It wasn’t a New year’s resolution, as I generally don’t do these anymore… But in September of last year, when I started my retraining, I met a classmate who was big into vaping. Not that it’s very healthy either, I know - but at least it’s not as deadly and smelly as smoking. I got my first pod kit in late October 2022 and only had to resort to asking a coworker for a cig on the 26th of December when I forgot to charge it at home. Nowadays, vaping has turned into somewhat of a hobby for me too as it’s very comparable to wetshaving - different gadgets, different liquids with individual tastes, lots of individualisation possible. I know I’ll never get off nicotine, but at least now I can reduce it (I typically use 5-11 mg/ml liquids) 👍🏻
