Homemade Cella Stick

[Teddyboy]

This morning I used my homemade Cella stick to test out a new small brush (Simpsons Classic 1). The Cella is very soft so it does not apply to the skin exactly like the hard soaps used in sticks, where your beard becomes dotted with droplets of the soap. With Cella, there is also some spreading of the product, like butter on a (toasted) bagel. I found that this actually applies more than the quantity needed and ensures a superb lather assuming the brush does its job (which it did). The shave was superb and was a nice start to the day. The point is that Cella works great as a stick even if its texture is somewhat unconventional for a soap stick.

P.S. Most people have no problem lathering Cella. I did, in part due to the stupid tiny tub it comes in. That is why I tried the stick. In retrospect, I could have just pressed and molded it into a bigger container.

I know this is nearly a year old, but I'm glad a I did a search of how the Cella stick turned out. I love my Cella, but I've been wanting to try a soap stick for awhile.

This is the best of both worlds. The richness of my beloved soap and the ease of the stick.

Arko is a great stick for very cheap

La Toja has an awesome old style scent and lathers well (has mineral salts in it and may dry out your face)

Tabac stick is probably my favorite. The size of it's great too. Larger than La Toja and Arko.

Thanks for finding it. I am flattered. It was a great stick.

The trick to loading Cella in the traditional way is to transfer it into a bigger container. That little red tub is worthless. Glad to hear it worked well as a stick. It seems to me that just about every soap works better as a stick.

I bet it was! Cella is the pinnacle of my shaving experience.

Did you use a round twist up or the deodorant, oval shaped one? I'm having a hard time finding a single tube instead of a half dozen.

West Coast Shaving sells single round twist-up containers.

Definitely the round twist-up containers. As Heron says, WCS and other places sell singles, although with shipping charges it probably pays to get a few.
