Today was a great Cella day. I lathered up with Cella Red, using an APShaveCo 28mm G5A knot brush with a blue over clear handle. I took it off with a Henson Ti22 ++ with a Nacet blade. Great shave.

Razor: Lord L6 w/shortened Razorock Titanium Halo handle
Blade: Suneko Amorphous Diamond Super Stainless
Soap: Cella red
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Barbero alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Old Spice Original
This was the second use of the Lord L6 razor. The one thing that stood out was the blade forward character of the razor. Using a light touch, it was surprisingly efficient. The Cella lather was very slick and worked perfectly. It was a terrific shave with no weepers, nicks, etc. and no irritation. To me, it's quite amazing that a $6 razor (delivered) can produce such a good shave. The other items used in the shave worked perfectly.

I think I am firmly in Club Cella now. It has been my exclusive soap for a couple years now. My sister bought me a gift pack for Christmas which had a synthetic brush (my first!), splash, and another small tub of red crema sapone. It consistently provides me with an irritant-free shave. I am pretty much an every-two-day shaver, and with a 1969 Gillette Super Adjustable, things are about perfect in my world. I see that there is/was a sandalwood Cella? I would really like to try that once I am through my kilo brick!
I see you may have bought the Cella set. I really wanted to buy it but the aftershave has alcohol so it can't be shipped here. How's the brush?

How is the Cella Red aftershave? How does it smell? I know it is not almond. Is it a good hot weather aftershave?
Well, I’ve been shaving exclusively with Cella red for two weeks and I’m in awe. Considering the price, it’s really a top performance soap. It lathers easily, it’s really slick, post shave is excellent and I can get a great lather with even one gram, which puts it almost at the level of hard soaps in the usage category. I don’t think you can get this level of quality at the price point. I’ve tried Haslinger and Speick, which come close in the cost per shave department but fall short in other aspects
PS: I have really picky skin, and Cella didn’t produce any reaction or discomfort. Truly great stuff
