    Default Cella Shave soap.

    Just picked up a tub from Amazon(I love Amazon!) The smell is really nice! The almond oil really comes out in the smell. I will try it out in a bit, I really dont need to shave but hey, has that ever stopped us before?

    Ill go whip some up and let yall know how it goes.

    Cella is among the very best shave cream you can get! One of the best Italian shaving luxury.
    Don't forget to treat it right: it takes quite a lot of water in order to give its best. And its best is the best creamy, fatty, lubricating, luxury lather you can ever dream of!

    I have Cella, and a close relative Vitos Red, and find that the lather from both is very good. The fly in the ointment is that I do not particularly care for the scent so they get used little. That is a pity as the lather is so good.

    I got the large block of Cella, cut it up & stored in the fridge. It's my everyday soap. Love it.

    Just watch out you don't come home some night a little tight and mistake it for some cheese.

    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no,,

    The block is so large you cut it in smaller blocks, use a block at a time & keep the rest in the fridge to keep. Been on the same block for 3 months, got 7 blocks left.

    You've described my experience. It's the gold standard as far as I am concerned, and intended to make it my every day soap, but found after a few months that I got tired of the scent. I can't use it exclusively.
