Thread: Container for Cella.

Most makers of soap dishes for shaving do not have covers for them. If you want the cats meow Georgetown Pottery makes a covered dish just right for soaps in their usual patterns. As I recall they call them butter dishes.

Excellent tip. I may just go that route. Kind of spendy but you often get what you pay for.

Cella Sapone Is a semi cream,you need to keep it hydrated to a point,has to be kept in a sealed container.

Worked fine if you grate it first:

Works fine for me.
I also found that if your shaving bowl is a bit rough inside, and really heated with hot water, the stick may be rubbed into it after draining, and a hot wet brush will give a great amount of lather.

Yea, I don't see why it would not work. Cella is pretty close to an Arko stick in consistancy.

I have found that glass covered sugar bowls work well for many of the hard soaps I use. And they look really classy too when lined up.
Unsure how it would be for Cella.
Here's a view of the bowls I use... Good luck.

Hello to All,

I cut the Cella brick into ca. 200 g chunks, and bung the chunks into these Klip Lok containers :

Sainsbury's

They have a hermetic seal, and are freezer safe (which is where I store the containers that are awaiting use).

There is enough space in them to load the brush as you would a conventional hard soap.

Have fun

Best regards

Russ

Excellent suggestions as usual. I now have several ideas.

Thank you all.

I use a twist up for Cella as well.
