G'day B&B,

Has anybody tried the new product on the market called the Cella Organic Shaving Soap in a bowl?

Not tried it yet though I do like the red Cella.

I'm allergic to Cella Red

I think it's the same cella bio cream already sold in the tube.

I'm allergic to Cella Red

I had a mild reaction to the Red too. I’ve tried a lot of soaps and only had a reaction to Cella and one other soap. I’d be curious to try the green if it has the same performance and a different fragrance.

Someone order a Kilo of this to sample!

I'd be up for a kilo split. But I'm not sure they have started making kilo's to sell? The tub and box are 150ml from the link above.

Look forward to having someone review this one! (I am still working my way through a brick of the red.)

The cream was out of stock but i got the aftershave
it arrived today. I spiked it with a spoonful of menthol
the scent to my nose as i haven't used it yet is slightly different from the regular aftershave. Different enough that i wasnt bummed i basically bought a duplicate
What do others say about the scent?

I noticed it at Maggard's .. but at least there it is branded as a cream rather than a soap .. wonder if it is croapish like the red tub, or a true cream ..

Here's a review (in Italian). It seems to be a good deal softer than the red version, closer to an English cream.

I have the soap on order. Can't wait for it to get here on Tuesday.

Tbf brand new cella can be like that. With this being a new product it's freshly made obviously.

It's probably the bitter almond/benzaldehyde scent.

Never tried cella of any kind yet but its on my list of want to try........

Finally got a tub in and did a shave with it.

This is way too soft to be called a soap; it's even softer than the vast majority of tub creams I've encountered. If I tried to use the Marco method with it, I have a feeling I would end up with an empty bowl. Instead, I lathered it like a cream (couple of swirls with a damp brush, lather on face then add water as needed). It performs.....ok. It's definitely not the equal of the red kilo brick. Scent is pleasing without being overpowering, and the matching splash feels great on the face.

Definitely do not use my method: as you properly say this is a cream, not a soft soap. Use less product and plenty of water. This cream is thirsty and its great properties shine when "water-activated".

It's a superb all-round winner in my book.

I've shaved several times with it and think it has the strengths of Cella red without the almond scent (which I never cared for).

I got the balm recently. It's an OK scent but not really for me.

Not to comply but I used the organic cream in a tube after leaving it for a few months and it was very thick seemed almost dried out getting it out of the tube.
