I found a store that had Cade soap...is it a melt and pour, or do I need to grate it?

I can tell you from first hand experience that this is correct.

Wow I am glad I asked...it was soft enough that I thought it might be a melt and pour...Thankyou...I'm looking forward to shaving with it in the morning
Your Cade is soft? L'occitane Cade shaving soap is not a soft soap, it is a triple milled, and should be a fairly hard soap. Are you sure you picked up the shaving soap from L'occitane?

Well I wondered that too...I just finished press rolling it on the bathroom counter and rolled it down to size to fit into an old Old Spice shave mug. I think the word I was looking for is malliable instead of "Soft".
I bought it at the L'occitane store, and the lable says Cade...but I don't have any experience with it. Its not as hard as Williams, and not as soft as the Ogallala soaps.
It was the only shave soap they had in the store...they had 3 pucks. What are your thoughts? I just went to their web site...the puck I bought today looks exactly like the picture, lettering and all...so I am pretty sure its "The Stuff"...can't wait to shave in the morning

Well it sounds like you got the right stuff if it is the same as the pic on their website. Enjoy using it! Cade is pretty much my favorite shaving soap, especially for the scent!

Do you also use the ASB or the cologne?
Wow, that must be a bad batch. I can't even make an imprint in my puck
There isn't really a Cade cologne. There was a AS splash that was magnificent and it was just discontinued or at least production was stopped for reformulation

I'm pretty sure L'occitane don't sell fake Cade, it is their own soap.
It's certainly not soft, but it did 'give' after I'd shaved the edges to get it in a bowl.
Good choice, excellent soap.
it is magnificent, i agree. after a lifetime of hating and shunning cologne, this is the one scent that convinced me that there may be something to this man-scent business. but talk about no staying power. the scent disappears within a minute a two tops.
maybe the "new" formulation will be an improvement, is that really confirmed?
I wasn't told they were when I wrote and called their office but I can't imagine not having an aftershave splash in their line up. They have excellent products and it would just hurt them to have hole in their line.
THat's the thing with splashes; I beleive most aren't supposed to leave a scent, even if they have one going on.
Such is the great shame with Proraso splash.
I expect it would only change if they reformulate Cade splash into a cologne.

My Cade is not nearly as hard as some of my other triple milled soaps. In fact its not quite as hard as my AOS soaps.
I've read lots of B+B'ers wish for a Cade edt, myself included (very much so.)
Let's hope and pray they only discontinued it to bring it back, maybe in some other form.

True.
In the other hand it (CADE) is a lot larger, less than half the price and seems (to me) to last longer than AOS.

OOOOOOOOH & AHHHHHHHH What a nice shave I had this morning...I like Cade...It will fit nicely into my rotation
I had also heard rumors of Cade AS being discontinued, but I recently got a bottle at the shop in Century City, CA. I love it - this was the scent that convinced me to give fragrances a try. Annie, my co-worker, talked me into it and she was right.
I also use their shaving soap and love it!
