Thread: Container for Cella.

The side effect of introducing my girlfriend to wet shaving seems to be that I am going through a hell of a lot of Cella. We both love the stuff. I will be ordering a brick very soon. I am looking for a larger container than the red tub to press it into. What would be an appropriate yet classy option? Will a wood bowl keep it fresh? Does it require a sealed lid as it is really a croap with a short shelf life?

Any suggestions?

Not to classy, but these work well,Twist-up Shaving Stick Containers, 2 oz

Another non classy idea are Pyrex or Anchor Hocking 1 Cup bowls with lids.

This is what I use, in fact I just finished shaving with Cella Crema Sapone Extra Extra Purissima...(going all in - the name for the 1kg block)

I divide the 1kg in to 100g chunks, vacuum seal them and work out of a 100g in the Anchor Hocking 1 cup container with a lid.



We could start a whole other thread on the subject, but this has to be one of the best "Values" in shaving soap - I can see getting 1000+ shaves out of the 1kg bock - that is unless you PIF half of it as many of us do in our efforts for the cause...

Smooth Shaving..

Over here I use these stainless steel tins for soaps such as Vitos just squash them in.

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.

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.

Shaving sticks are usually hard soaps. Cella is a soft soap and I don't think it will be practical molding it in a stick container and using it as a stick. A common bowl container will be better I believe.

So no one makes a nice ceramic dish with a lid for this application? That is surprising. Although I have found nothing online either.

I haunt Goodwill's ceramic and glass aisles. Have found many nifty (that dates me) containers that can be used for hard and soft soaps.
