Cella revisited
Hey guys , I haven't ever done anything like this before , but I felt compelled. I travel a lot for my job around 265 days a year in the oilfield, so I bring the necessities for straight shaving with me. Mostly I carry the Proraso , Stirling soaps for the travel part . Now soon I will be home full time and then I will be using my finer soaps all the time( I'm a big fan of my MDC and Castle Forbes) but on the road I just didn't make a point of bringing these. As I was packing for my last trip I seen the old tub of Cella I started with and gave up on it. Well I,m using it now out in the field, and my lather technique must be better , because I really like this cream! Inexpensive and very smooth shaves ,, so if any of you guys has an old soap or cream laying around and haven't used since you began , Pick them up and try it out , I won't be giving up my good stock , but this Cella will get used from here on out on in my travel bag.

Cella is a great soap. I find myself using it alot of times over my other soaps/creams. It is easy to lather and does an excellent job of what it is supposed to do, plus I like the smell.

Yep, it should probably be in everyone's line up. A staple.

I run counter to the swell of men who enjoy this product. Tried a sample years ago and thought Meh. Had a tub gifted to me by my soon to be ex wife and tried to love it....but no.

Thanked: 3222Yes, Cella does the job well unfortunately I find the scent off putting. Classic YMMV.

Thanked: 4822I do like the Cella as well and bring it with me to work as well. I work in the marine industry and also spend a lot of time away. Soap I don't like shaving with become shower soaps though, it's a little more awkward with creams though.

I like the Cella properties as does my daughter-in-law.
We agree it is an excellent shaving soap.
The almond scent is a bit on the strong side but not off putting.

Cella is a magnificent soap! As a matter of fact it has been my replacement soap when they quit making the super glorious P.160.
Add to this it has the classic Italian almond scent - although as not intense as other Italians - it makes a good soap for the ones loving this scent, including me, of course.
Very easy to mount, it gives a luxurious lather in few seconds. As for keeping, it virtually lasts forever, in particular if you keep it in the refrigerator, something I do with all of my soaps.
The 1kg pack is bargain: its price, here in Italy, is about 10 euros.The RazorGuy - StraightRazorChannel on Youtube and Google+

Thanked: 580Cella was the first soap I tried so had nothing to compare it with but I thought it was great.

Hello to All,
I split my 1kg of Cella into 125g dollops in KlipFit tubs and out them in the freezer.
That was over two (2) years ago, and the tubs still are fresh when I come to use them.
For me, Cella is still the best lather product I have used
Have fun
Best regards
Russ
