Date: 20 February 2017

Brush: - Semogue SOC 2 Band Badger in Ash Wood 24/53mm
Lather: - Cella (sample) shaving soap
Razor: - Parker Variant Adjustable
Blade: - Polsilver Super Iridium #1
Post Shave: - T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent / Speck Aftershave

I've found a complete forgotten locked away for nearly 9 months of 8 Cella (sample) shaving soap still hasn't been touch throughout my wet shaving, it's a total shame that I haven't used it and I still don't know why I bother not using Cella so it time to start using some Cella shaving soap today before this could end up in a trash bin. I find Cella shaving soap is very similar to Stirling Almond Creme shaving soap and Stirling smell a lot better then Cella, also Stirling has more slickness and much better lather than Cella.

Cella is still a great shaving soap which is pretty cheap for a soft soap, trouble is most wet shavers can be allergic to almond so please be aware before trying out Cella or you could end up in a very bad way.

Thank you very much
When it come to Semogue, I try hard to get my hands on any of their brushes - I just love them.
Some have slipped, but that's because I can't be a member of every shave forum out there
