Hey Folks,
having purchased the L'Occitane Cade shaving soap (refill - as I do not need the container) I first discovered that there is NO Karité-Butter (shea butter), Cold Cream and Macadamia Nut Oil in it (although these ingredients are mentioned on all of their world-wide websites, especially in the Cade shaving soap section. Well, this is strange but as I had contact with the chief of the German L'Occitane customer-service, he also was "shocked" but immediately send a mail to France (headquarters). This was on Friday, so I'll have to wait for an additional reply.
Nevertheless, what frustrates me most is the fact, that I do not get any good lather out of this soap. Neither starting with a fairly dry nor wet badger silvertip brush (shavemac, dense, so enough soap is skimmed - I load the brush for nearly one minute). The lather is airy and deflates within the first (shaving) pass).
What am I doing wrong? I do possess other French, German and British shaving soaps and have never experienced such a bad performer. Is this soap that BAD?
Hoepfully not...
Guys, thanks for more information, suggestions.
Sunny greetings from Germany -
Chris.
