I was not using Cella since some time and I don't remember why. I always loved the pairing with Omega 49 and the shavette that imo gives another barbershop shave.
Pre: hot shower
Brush: Omega 48
Razor: Universal Whole Blade

Have a wonderful shave and a fresh day to all gents!
I have been there a few times! I live about 40 miles south of Toledo, so it is a good 1.5 hour drive for me. I love how you can go and smell everything though, and my wife loves to go for drives. It really is nice to have them so close.
Also, I am a big fan of their synthetic brushes. I think they are a killer deal!
My 1st DE purchase was from Maggards. A V3 head and MR5 handle. I have since purchased more handles, brushes, soaps, and other items as they seem to be one of the more CS oriented online stores with a great instock, (usually), selection available for shipment... I am glad I don't live anywhere near them as I fear I would be strolling in there almost on a daily basis for something!! I enjoy most that they have shipped every order I've placed the same day which rarely happens with other vendors. Stand up company right there!!!
I try to support B&B vendors when I can, but you really cannot say enough good things about Maggard's. Outstanding in store smell/try anything/everything policy, superfast shipping, and superb customer service to name a few. If you live w/in 2 hours I would strongly recommend visiting their store. Mexican restaurant next door has goat tacos!
I honestly have reason to be in Adrian on a regular basis and every time that store is like Sirens luring me to crash upon the rocks of many an acquisition disorder.
