Gentlemen:
Cade shave soap meets all my expectations of moist lather, smooth glide and comfortable cushion, as well as a pleasing scent. I have used it for years. The cream, however, disappoints overall.

Cade is now in regular rotation. In the early days, I just could not get a decent lather from it, but that scent is so appealing that persistence paid off. I used to lather it with the cream as a means of getting anything decent from it, but the scent of that always detracted from the Juniper of the soap. I typically use a wet brush on all my soaps, however, Cade benefits from starting slightly drier and adding water gradually. After an initial disappointment, Cade now, is one soap I could never be without.

When did you notice a difference in the performance of the soap? If any? Had they ever made it easier to lather at some point in the past?

Got online last night after I got home and the website has the soap but the cool storage tin.... Out of stock. I should have bought the tin at the store that had it. Bummer
This is starting to become a mission for me.

I think it would be fair to say that I went virtually a year on an intermittent basis before I mastered this soap. For some time now I have used what has become known as "Marco's Method" on another forum, but starting with a soaking wet brush doesn't work with Cade I have found. I find a few gentle shakes to get most of( but not all of) the water out works a treat after wetting the puck beforehand. As far as I know the Cade soap has not been reformulated in any way, merely a case of trial and error.

Thanked: 18I've had the cream for over a year and it is a great disspointment regarding performance, however, the scent is awesome (one of the best I dare to say). I have a L'occitane shop very nearby my house and other very near my job, and I have been tempted to get the soap along with the tin. Maybe one of this days...
