How do you use Cella?

[Sluggo]

I have used Valobra for the past week, by taking a little pinch and lathering with my bowl.

Now Cella and P160 just don't seem to like bowl lathering (or I maybe using too much product).

So how do you use Cella? Face lather, or bowl lather? How do you load the brush?

I load the brush the way I load it with soap, not the way I load it with cream. Swirl slightly wet brush over the top of the Cella then bowl lather.

Same here

Like he says, load it like a soap, roughly roughly 30 seconds or so on top of the Cella is what I do. Then I either face or bowl lather from there.

Also, I bought the one in the red bowl, if you have the big brick, I'd suggest putting some of it in a bowl to make it easier.

I treat Cella like I treat any soap, load in the bowl and then face lather, works like a champ.

Same as the above, but I do find the red bowl a little small at times.

Yeah, I'll agree the tub is a bit small, especially if you use a decent sized brush.

Cella is ridiculously easy to face lather with after loading up the brush for a good thirty seconds or so. I just put a little bit of water on the Cella while I shower and then use a well shaken brush and off to the races I go.

My Cella came as a lump from a big block in a group buy so I have it in a sensible sized plastic bowl. I have heard the red tub is a bit small for the brush.

As above for using it but I only face lather and it's wonderful stuff.

+1 Same here.

Haven't used the valobra soft soap for a little while, but I have no problems getting lather to build even in the 30 seconds it takes to load the brush with Cella. I face lather, but I don't see how it would fail to lather in a bowl.

You could try splashing/soaking a tiny bit of water on the soap to make loading the brush a bit easier.

Load the brush with regular amount and do lather in your face.

+1 This method will get you whipped cream lather from Cella every time

 

[Empty Words]

I give the brush a shake and then load it with soap. Since Cella is so soft, this is done in under 30 seconds. Once loaded, I face lather. Even when using a small brush I get more lather than I need.

Thanks, will try that.

 

[Wil Dorenbos]

Tried it and I get better results like this (but still not as good as with a shave stick, alas).

Couple drops of water in the tub before I shower, just like a soap. makes the brush loading easier, IME.

+1. This is what I do as well.
