Zag net op een UK groep dit voorbij komen en ik dacht, laat ik dat even door Gemini heen trekken. Maar daar werd ik niet blij van:

 

Based on current reports and widespread activity in the shaving community as of March 12–13, 2026, there is a strong and credible indication that Mäurer & Wirtz is discontinuing Tabac Original shaving soap.
While the company has not yet issued a formal public press release on its main website, the following evidence has surfaced in the last 48 hours:
  • Retailer Status: Major specialized shaving retailers (such as Maggard Razors and Bullgoose Shaving) have updated their listings for the 2024 Reformulation of the soap to "Sold Out" or "Out of Stock," with some indications that they will not be replenished.
  • Industry Rumors: A massive "mega-thread" appeared on the Badger & Blade forums on March 12, 2026, titled "Goodbye Tabac Shaving Soap," citing vendor notifications and internal communications from the manufacturer.
  • Community Reaction: There is currently a wave of "panic buying" and memorial posts across Reddit (r/wicked_edge and r/Wetshaving), where users are reporting that the soap is being phased out, though the aftershaves, colognes, and deodorants currently appear to be remaining in the lineup.
Recent History of Tabac
If this discontinuation holds true, it marks the end of an era for what many consider the "gold standard" of commercial shaving soaps.
  • 2021 Reformulation: Tabac famously moved from a tallow-based formula to a vegan base, which was initially met with mixed reviews.
  • 2024 Reformulation: The company updated the formula again in 2024 (adding palm oil), which was widely praised for returning the soap to its legendary performance levels.

Dit zegt Chat gpt:

Kort antwoord: nee, Tabac scheerzeep is (voor zover bekend) niet volledig discontinued, maar sommige varianten lijken wel te verdwijnen of te veranderen.

 

 

Wat er waarschijnlijk gebeurt

 

 

  • De klassieke scheerzeep zelf blijft bestaan.
  • Volgens berichten van gebruikers die contact hadden met het merk blijft de zeep beschikbaar als gevulde pot en als stick, maar niet meer als losse refill-puck of bepaalde verpakkingen.
  • Daardoor lijkt het alsof hij “verdwijnt”, omdat juist die navullingen vaak niet meer op voorraad zijn bij winkels.

Het zal voor de eigenaar met verkoopcijfers/winstmarge te maken hebben denk ik.

Er is voor nu trouwens nog plenty te koop .

Ik hoop niet dat het waar is, anders moet ik iets anders zoeken om de muizen buiten te houden
