    Straight,
    Are you asking for Italian soaps or creams? Cella is a cream. If you specify soaps or creams, you will get more focused answers, I'm sure.

    Cella

    It lathers great, smells great and is slick.

    Pix,
    You could be right on the kilo block, I don't know. I don't care for Cella or all the other almond scented Italian soaps and creams, so I am not familiar with Cella in the kilo, although I have used Cella in the tub enough to retire it for good from my humble shave den. Obviously the small tub is in cream form. I like the way Cella lathers, though, and the glide and the cushion are good. But that almond scent — OY!

    The two I really like are Panama Boellis 1924 and Valobra patchouli. I guess they could be considered a croap, in between a cream and a hard soap, because they are pliable.

    For a puck soap, Czech and Speake 88 is hard to beat.
