Provence Sante Green Tea cream; anyone get good results with this?

[awa54]

Just asking, since this is the worst shaving cream I have ever used (even a difficult to lather *hard soap* like Williams kills it!) in terms of performance. The scent is nice, but if it gives a crummy shave what's the point?

That is surprising and disappointing to hear since the soap version is a fantastic product. I have not tried the cream and am not likely to do so.

Your title says cream but your post says soap. Which are you refering to?

I hate how people throw the word "soap" around for creams, this just adds to the confusion -it's not about you OP, just a general rant which probably have confused you as well- I mean why can't we leave it at, if a product can get scooped up with your fingers, regardless of consistency, it's a cream, no need for "hard cream," "soft soap" or "croap" you know? And a soap is a soap and that's that.

End rant, lol.

No, in this case there is no confusion, in the OP's question or in the soap/cream mix up. Cream is one of the most 'runny' creams out there, and the soap is really hard.
That said, I love both soap and cream very much.

I think everyone is misinterpreting what the op is asking. It's my belief that he had a bad experience with the soap and is looking to see if the cream is any better as he really likes the scent. I too would be interested in seeing if anyone has had experience with the cream available, not the soap....the cream...I already know how the soap is.

First, an apology; it is indeed a *cream* type product, sorry for the confusion.

Second, a clarification; almost everything that we as wet shavers put on our faces in a lather form is *soap*, the consistency of that soap before application will determine what most of us call it. Here's the official definition of the word "soap"...

soap [sohp] noun

1. a substance used for washing and cleansing purposes,usually made by treating a fat with an alkali, as sodium or potassium hydroxide, and consisting chiefly of the sodium or potassium salts of the acids contained in the fat.

2. any metallic salt of an acid derived from a fat.

Again, my abject apology for the terrible confusion this has wrought.... The gist of my post was strictly to ***** about how bad the *cream* form of this product is in my experience.

I don't think we were debating over the definition of "soap", at least I wasn't. I was just trying to figure out if you had bad results with the cream or the soap because they are two different PSGT products.

Again, my abject apology for the terrible confusion this has wrought.... The gist of my post was strictly to ***** about how bad the *cream* form of this product is in my experience.

That was the clarification I was wondering about. I've heard good things about the soap, less about the cream.

 

[Rivguy]

Not to belabor the point, but I think that my post is clear that I was making a differentiation between the soap and cream. I am glad that the OP clarified his point.

My rant didn't pertain to the topic, just a random rant... Sorry if I added to the confusion. BTW do you know what a misnomer is? This is similar to a misomer as in if you mention to someone -other than a wetshaver I guess- the word "soap" a regular bar of soap is the first thing they're going to think of, they wont think of liquid soap or laundry detergent, furthermore, google "soap" and click "images" and lmk what comes up, that's what I'm getting at, lol.

BTW my red cella jar which people on here call "soft soap" and others "hard cream" or "croap" say "crema" on the front which im pretty sure you know what it means.

Interesting, I wonder if the European formula of the PS cream is different from what we get in the US, the stuff I used had only so-so lather-ability, poor glide and almost no cushion...and I used the whole sample pack for one shave (looked like at least enough for two full three pass shaves if it was any other cream I have used).
