Hi, I'm thinking of buying some L'Occitane shaving soap, I know it isn't the most traditional thing in the world but I'm hoping it will be a lot better than the stuff in a can I use at the moment! Does anyone have any experiences/comments on the soap or should I just go for it?
Thanks Blastbar =]
Better than that stuff in a can? Oi!
... does a bear make poo where you might have thought?
... does the Pope belong to the denomination that he heads?
... is a duck's heinie possessed of the correct sealant properties?
Speaking as a satisfied user of the product, I'd have to say, um, yes.

not only is it better than the stuff in a can, but the cade soap is one of my favourites out of the many soaps and creams ive tried.
Cade is absolutly one of my favorites too, a very nice soap.
CADE is an excellent shaving soap (but they make a TERRIBLE shaving cream, so stay away from that).
I liked the CADE as well. It was a nice aroma, lather and had good lubrication. The Castle Forbes cream is still my favorite when it comes to suds and lubrication though.
Have fun,
Lynn
I think it's a good solid soap, but I more often reach for the classics - Floris, Trumper, Harris, etc. That's just me.

I have some, but it doesn't get used too often. My skin is pretty easily dried out in the winter, and I get better moisturizing with other products. I sure do like the way it smells though. I'd say get some... I know a fella who's had the same puck for 5 years. It lasts.
thank you all it's definitely on my birthday wish list if I can't resist getting some sooner :D I can see this isn't going to be the cheapest of hobbies when I get into it some more, but I'd much rather enjoy the experience than spend £10 every month and a half on those cartridges *shivers at the thought*
Thank you all again :bow
I have to agree with Lynn on that Castle Forbes rocks...:njQuote:

I can whip it up into a really nice perfectly rich lather with very little effort, and I've been using it quite liberally for about 2 months now, and really it looks like I haven't even touched it yet.. definately buy one - buy a few :)

Yes it rocks for a cream. But don't forget, it should, it is very very expensive.Quote:

Cade is good soap by the way.
I haven't tried a soap but it will be in the shopping list in the future.Quote:

Lathering is a little bit tricky and it is not so creamy than most english creams. I have more or less oily skin and it doesn't bother me at all....
The lather needs precise amount of water than other creams. not too much or too little and what I have read hard water might cause some troubles too.
Soft water in here so no big worries...again
Scott -- you must share what products give you
such moisturizing qualities, it's the same winter
here :)

Institut Karité Extra Gentle Shaving Soap tops my list during our cold snaps, followed up with the IK balm. IK gets me through the -45 degree weeks.Quote:
