Thread: L'Occitane En Provence CADE Shaving Soap

Yes it is Cade Rich Shaving Cream. I took a couple of pics to show you, but my tablet is acting squirrely.

That would be the one in the jar with metal screw top, I suppose.
Haven't tried this one yet, will need to check whether the local L'Occitane carries it.

After you pointed this new soap out, I became curious, went out and bought a jar at the local L'Occitane store.

The Cade Rich Shaving Cream sells in jars and has quite a different consistency from the old cream in the tube and reminds me somewhat of rich, snow-white crème fraiche - to stick with L'Occitane's French theme.

The price for the 200 g jar was slightly higher than the price for the old cream in the 150 g tube, but when working out the price per gram or ounce the new product is actually cheaper - and undoubtedly superior.

I was never a fan of the old cream and considered it the worst L'Occitane product I have come across, but the new product performs very nicely, much more in line with what I came to expect from other products from this company.

The scent is definitely Cade and the cream produces a rich, creamy lather. Lubrication is nice, scent is pleasant and once the brush was loaded it lasted me for three comfortable passes.

I quite like this product and - keeping the poor performance of the old cream in mind - consider this not an improved, but rather an entirely new product that may make shavers forget the lackluster performance of the old L'Occitane cream in the tube - which is still available at this time BTW.

Hence; if you should consider buying the new shaving cream, stay away from L'Occitane shaving cream tubes and insist on the "Cade RICH {my emphasis} Shaving Cream" in the jar.

You may like it.

Resurrecting an old thread here.


I've been shaving with the L'Occitane Cade shaving SOAP and it's a very good soap.
De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum about the scent.

But the performance for me is top notch. It's a very slick soap that does a great job protecting my face while being very easy to lather into a thick creamy texture.

As Obie mentioned early on in this 2014 thread, there used to be a difference like day and night between Cade shaving soap and cream. This thread was born at a time when L’Occitane seemed to have taken their shaving creams more serious and had introduced two creams that for once they did not have to feel ashamed of.

I still have the two Cade creams and the soap from 2014, which shows that - while not a regular user - I use these products from time to time.
Which indicates how I think about L’Occitane shaving products: not so bad to dispose of, but certainly no products that I like enough to finish in five years.

In fact, each of the three containers is still more than half full...
