L’Occitane Cade Shave Soap
In general I love French shave soaps, mainly Martin de Candre. I don’t know why other than the fact that they tend to be really great skin care wise. This is what first drew me to the products of L’Occitane. There is a L’Occitane Boutique a relatively short distance from my home, so I made it a point to stop into their store when I was visiting my son in Madison.
I had been reading about L’Occitane’s products and could not wait to try some of it out. When I entered L’Occitane I found that the shop was laid out in a pleasant and easy to navigate way, and in spite of its small size its open and welcoming design created a space that did not feel crowded at all.
L’Occitane Cade is a juniper scented soap that is quite strong and very pleasant. The soap fits nicely in the aluminum bowl, which I am also a fan of.
The lather smells just as strongly as the puck, but does not linger following a shave. The soap creates a nice protective and slick lather, but does lack some of the slickness that soaps with higher glycerin contents have. After I use this soap my skin feels soft, smooth, and has a moisturized feeling.
The amazing scent, the easy lather, and the overall great skin care that this soap provides all combine to make it one of my absolute favorite shave soaps and my number one French shave soap. At $12/puck this triple milled shave soap will last a long time and is well worth the price, Along with their pre-shave oil and after shave balm, you could not ask for a better shave. I highly recommend it.
