    Default cella vs. p160

    how similar are these two? i found cella on sale for 35 USD for a kilogram as compared to about 50 USD for p160. i really the p160 that i have and have heard they are pretty similar. anyone know the major differences between the two?

    What about RazoRock Shave Cream?
    RazoRock Shave Cream 150ml

    RazoRock Shave Cream is produced for Italianbarber.com by biochimica s.p.a of Bologna, Italy, who is the same company that used to distribute the legendary barbershop favorite, P.160.

    Some of you knowledgeable wet shaving enthusiasts may ask... Is this the same formula used in Figaro and Fitness? IT CERTAINLY IS!
    I just bought some new creams at Italian Barber.

    I have both in 1k size.

    For me...it's a photo finish with Cella as the winner. The P160 dries up a little quicker than the Cella.

    I'm still perfecting the art, so my shaves probably take a little longer than others.

    A kilo of cella??? sounds like a life time supply and then some! 2.2 pounds

    sinnfein,

    I have Cella (Crema Da Barba & Sapone Extra Extra Purissima), P160 Morbido & P160 Duro.

    The p160s are excellent, but for me Cella is the clear winner.

    For me, Cella is simply the best performing lather product I have ever used

    If you want to try Cella, the Crema da Barba comes in 150 g tubs.

    The P160s also come (came?) in 150g cakes, in addition to the 1kg blocks.

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ

    Shoki; I use Razorock as well as Cella and P160. I find them to all be excellent products, and on a par with each other. The only real difference I note is the scent, with the Razorock winning the trophy in this regard. It smells delicious. Other than that they are all great performers, and my face loves them all.

    well the cella was out of stock must have waited to long. it wont be back in stock until mar 2 but who can wait that long when SAD is involved, so i ordered a tub of RazoRock (150ml) as suggested here (thanks for the tips) and a tub of Proraso (150 mg) because i have read many people raving about it both were only 5.00 each maybe ill order the cella when it is back in stock if it is still on sale, thanks for the tips guys

    I found that P160 (both Tipo Duro and Tipo Morbido) lacked the cushion of Cella. Perhaps that was due to my hard water. While I liked the scent, I found that the performance was lacking. YMMV and all that.
