Cella is a similar Italian shaving soap.

Careful now, I'm going to toss out another opinion...

I do agree that Cella is a very good soap, and its scent is fairly similar to P160; but I don't think Cella is similar in shaving quality. P160 lubricates more, produces a creamier lather, and just plain (in my opinion) feels more luxurious.

Luxurious?? to me palmolive is Luxurious,as is arko,am a simple guy with simple tastes.I get the same shave from any soap.Sort of like the wine snops,Hints of chocolate and overtones of Belgian endive.B.S, I can shave with Irish spring bar soap if I had to

In that case, I'd be willing to trade you your kilo of P160 for 2 kilos of Irish Spring.

I had to laugh, because today as I was shaving with my DR Harris cream, which is my favorite, I thought to myself that I have 12 or 15 soaps and creams, and earlier in my life I've shaved by rubbing a bar of soap on my face and then lathering with my fingers, and I did just fine. I also shaved for about 5 years out of a Christmas gift mug of Aramis shave soap and the brush that came with it. Why am I suddenly obsessed with shaving soaps? and the answer was this forum. :

Any update to this? Would like to hear how people are liking the Razorock P160. I was hoping it didn't smell too much like Cella cause I'm not crazy about it... but I take it that's not the case.

When you say Cella, do you mean in the red tub or the 1kg block?
And I confess that I did not give the Cella Tub a real trial, but I liked the Cella Block more.

And I love my small reserve of original P160 - and hope that the RazorRock version works out.

Last time I used P160 was Fathers Day, shaving with my Italian Barber Grandfathers H.M. Christensen



Looking for that side by side report...

Smooth Shaving...

Thanks.
Yeah the tub. At least at first sniff I wasn't crazy about it.
As cheap as it is as soon as the new p160 comes back in stock I'll try some out.
Nice setup there!
