I have the small one, in the red bowl, and it is soap, not a cream.
Maybe stored for years in the drugstore and became harder?

The 1kg brick and red tub is virtually identical, both are soaps.
You found a KG of P160?Thats the best of the best,They quit making it a year ago.
Not sure if it's the same stuff as a year ago but I've heard enough good things about it I figured I'd give it a go. Can't wait to get home and try these with my straight. I've been using a DE for the better part of a year as it is easier for me to shave every morning with that than the straight.
I still have about one pound of P.160 and I do agree with you: it is the best of the best! It is such a pity they quit production some years ago.
However, I also love Cella quite a lot, in my opinion it ranks a little lower than P.160. They are both excellent shaving creams/soaps.
i just tried cella tonight for the first time....does anyone else think its super simlar to panama boellis?
I can't even imagine how long a 1kg brick will last. I have the tub and after a year, it barely has a dent in it. That brick would las me the rest of my life:)
Never tried Panama Boellis, does it have less of a "tallowy" smell than Cella? Personally my skin has a great affinity to these italian soft soaps and I have to say that Cella played a great part in allowing me to improve my technique with a straight without too many scars to show for it. Interestingly enough, I find that I prefer Cella when using a straight razor but less so when shaving with a DE. Can't imagine how long a brick of the stuff lasts... even the small red container lasts for ages!
I like it. It gives great shaves and has a very reasonable price.
My friend... Cella is a classic that has been in production for over 100 yrs! It is a great product and thats why it has been in production for so long... It is my 2 go product... If you like almond scented soaps/creams you might like mama bears soaps! My fav of there like is amaretto! Lathers great and the scent is similar to italian creams!
