Thread: L'Occitane CADE Soap

I hope the soap works well for you. Let us know how you fair.

I picked up the CADE soap puck yesterday, and just gave it a try this morning. Very different to the cream (for me at least), the soap lathered easily and gave a great shave. It smelled good and for £7.50 I think it's superb value. This is definately one of my favourites, alongside Tabac, Colleens, Penhaligons, Proraso.....

I'll have to check that out. I was in a city the other day and saw a L'Occitane shop there. We didn't have time to go into it (or money) but next time I'm there I'll definately have a look.

I've been reading this forum on the CADE soap so when I saw the L'Occitane shop in a TV spot here at work I went and picked up a refill size today. Haven't had a chance to try it, I'm sure it's great.

I went into L'Occitane the other day and they gave me a sample of their Cade shave cream. They don't regularly offer samples of their shave cream, but the salesperson offered me a squeeze of their sample tube into an empty metal candle container she had available.

I tried it this morning, and found that the lather was pretty slick and provided a thin but dense lather. It requires very little water so I used a boar brush that I soaked in hot water, then gave it a couple shakes to remove most of the water. I think it smells classy, and didn't leave my face dry at all, but it did burn my skin in the mustache area. I'd never experienced anything like this before. Shaved and rinsed and the burn was gone. I hope this doesn't happen with other creams/soaps that I have and haven't tried yet.

Would anyone know what the ingredient in Cade shave cream could cause this? I wonder if it would be the same with the Cade soap? I don't have any known allergies. Then I could watch out for it in other soaps/creams.

Try the AS too, like Bay Rum but with juniper, veeeeery nice.

+1 with Amund. The AS is great. Also, CADE is one of my favorite soaps. I haven't tried the cream yet but I don't think I need to. The lather is nice and thick, a bit like Tabac's (though not as dense).
