Anybody use L Occitane Cade soap?

I came across this soap a few weeks ago and ordered it because I liked the smell.

It's been a great soap. Super easy to lather and seems nice and slick to me. After using it for the last two weeks, I hit the bottom this morning. I was a bit surprised when I saw this. I load the brush in the container and then lather on my face. Maybe this has something to do with it, I'm not sure but it bums me out because I really like it.

Has anybody else used this soap and had similar a experience?

Im assuming you are asking if others of us have experienced rapid disappearance of Cade soap? I use and love the scent and performance of Cade. I load In The container and build lather on my face. I have not experienced the rapidly disappearing puck that you have and although I don't use this soap daily, I have on two occasions used it for a full week. (So this puck has two weeks of full time use plus likely another two weeks of sporadic use. The puck still shows enough for several more weeks of shaving. My Cade pucks are not as hard as some but harder than most and I would assume a puck of Cade ought to last for a solid three months of daily three pass shaving for me and I am in no way a sparce lather miser. I love washing suds down the drain. I find Cade to be easy to load and as such don't need to swirl on the puck longer than about 30 seconds to pick up enough for a three pass shave. I dry it out between uses. I use both boar, badger, and synth brushes and all work well with Cade.

So I just realized that I bought the shave cream in the tub-not the soap puck.

That makes sense now because I thought that it was very soft. Either way, I like it a lot. I just ordered the soap puck so we'll see how that works.

Now, that explains everything! I was wondering how much soap you were loading onto you brush to use up a complete puck of soap in two weeks.

Make amends by pronouncing it correctly 30 times as I provided in the current thread.

Great stuff. I grated it into a tub and it has lasted me a long time. The after shave balm is also outstanding.

I like that idea. So you grate into a tub, then add to you lather bowl as needed?

You mean you went through 7oz of shaving cream in 2 weeks? I'm guessing you loaded too heavy. Was lather flying all over the place?

A case of YMMV for sure. I found the scent wasn't one that I cared to have around.

The tub is easier to load and is thicker, but I find the triple milled hard soap to be the winner as it lets me fine tune better.

But I'm partial, it's the first real soap I purchased.
