This morning it was my fitst try whit Cella, conclussion just WOW amazing soap. It was easy to lather and i understand why so many wet shaver to like it, the post shave is just wonderfull, the almond smell is really pleasent. As for protection, slickness and cushion i was really impress, just a great quality soap. Gino
Yep for a mid range quality soap it's pretty good ,, it's one of those man it is cheap so why is it that good ,, I think the kilo is still under 35 dollars and that would last a long time ,, Tc
Regarding the price of cella, and being a soap maker myself, I consider cella just honest.
That means that I consider many other soaps and creams highly overpriced and with no value for the money at all.
I believe that the time when "you get what you pay for" has passed away for some decades now. I am afraid that marketing is regulating the prices and not the quality any more.
I found Cella to be a really good soap.
I would just say though, that I bought the 1 Kilo block and as great as it was, it lasted far too long.
This is a good thing if you don't wish to buy any other soap for a couple of years, or if you have already tried everything else and this is truly the one for you. If I were to buy some more, it would be the tub.
Cella did not impress me. I tried it twice. Just goes to show that we all have different tastes and likes
I don't use it anymore myself ,, but I did find it to make a nice lather and good glide . At its price it's a good buy, if that's all you want, I have too found much better soaps , but you just have to pay for it, now one that Is Still in my rotation is Tabac , and Institute Karitte small price Great lather, But seeing how I don't make soaps I still find my MDC to be one of the best and I do see the benefits of the extra money spent Tc
Cella has been in the rotation for quite a while now and is not leaving anytime soon. It's a great bang for the buck and lathers fantastically. The smell took a little getting used to at first. I'm really liking it the more I use it. The only beef that I have, and it's a small one, is I wish the red container had a wider opening. It's very narrow and makes loading a little difficult with a big brush. No problem though, the next order will be the mega-block.

I was given a piece of this soap, I am satisfied with the result. Like the smell and properties.
I still have a bunch of it. It's OK soap but I've since moved on.
Good cushion but I wish it had more slickness. That said, I'm trying to Titanic my way through my last 300 grams of the stuff. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have bought that brick.... [emoji23]
I'm a fan of the Cella Sapone Extra Extra Purissima 1kg block, for some reason not the red tub.
Solid performer, great value and I use it as my shave test soap.
Yes, you can get more cushion and glide from other soaps as you climb the soap & cream food chain..
But Cella has a spot in my primary basket O soaps...
Smooth Shaving...
Excuse me but what's MDC stand for? I'm still a newbie lol. GinoQuote:

I have the Cella in a red tub, and it does nothing for me. Not bad, just not great. YMMV
Ummmm, MDC is a lot better soap than Coors ever was beer.Quote:

I have heard Coors Light described as screwing in a canoe or expletive deleted near water.Quote:

If you do a search in the upper right corner box, you'll see that it has. Unlikely to come up in a Cella thread, though.
