    The first one is probably Cella. It has the exact same ingredients. The description says it was cut from a big block and Cella can be had in 1Kg blocks.

    Cella is part of my regular rotation (Tabac MWF, Cella).

    Don't forget that C&S soaps are made in Italy, probably by AoS or Valobra as has been mentioned in the distant past, if I recall correctly.

    Does anyone know of another source for the italian barber soap rasurpur used to carry? I'm not convinced its cella based on pictures of cella.

    Yes, for sure Proraso Red and Vitos are good soaps and well worth a try. Unfortunately I don't care for the smell of Cella or Vitos all that much.

    Don't forget Acca Kappa! Their 1869 line is one of my favorites! Awesome cream/soap and aftershave. If you like layering - they have cologne and whatnot as well.

    Give it a shot - you'll be glad you did.

    Default Cella Tub vs. Cella 1KG Block

    Does anyone have info on the Cella Tub vs. the Cella Block?

    Are they the same?

    I thought the Cella Tub as a little "strong". Then I tried P160 and was very impressed...as in I see how it could get cult status.

    And since the P160 is so hard to come by, what is the next closest thing?

    Thanks in advance...

    I have heard plenty of times that they are different. However, I have tried both of them and I found they are exactly the same.

    Cella bowl and Cella block: they have a very little difference.
    The bowl have a bit of percentual of oil plus then block(altoght INCI is same,becuase this difference don't change the position of INCI,also because the oil is at the first position )
    P.160 is discontinued....i have used it.
    For me p.160 is less greasy then Cella (not so high)
    I think that closest soap is Vitos red, (that as i have said someone of italian forum consider it better then Cella as quality(performance)/price/weight)

    ACCA KAPPA!!!! I had forgotten this beautiful company(pried of Treviso,from 1869)
