Thought I was a cream guy...CELLAlleluia

[Smooth and Sharp]

Thanks to everyone on this forum that recommanded Cella. Like title says I thought I was a cream guy (tobs, etc) until I try this.
First when you open The brick it feels like youre opening some fancy cheese, exact same paper. Then you smells almond paste and all you want is eat it.
I tried it in my scuttle. Amazing fluffy marshmallow lather that gives the ultimate cushion with residual slickness perfect for short strokes.
Like someone said when I mentioned I added the kilo in a cart, I could have stopped there.
If someone starts a month of cella after arkos August, Im in. Cheers

One of my top 3 favorites when it comes to soaps. If I had to list them in order it would look like:
1) Stirling
2) Cella
3) MWF

Super, I havent tried Stirling but have 2 in the mail

I love the post shave feel of Stirling and MWF better than Cella. The reason I rank Cella over MWF is the ease of making a lather. But between Stirling and Cella the rankings are based on post shave feel and scent options with Stirling edging out Cella on post shave feel and all the scent options

I love the smell of Cella in the morning.
Smells like......victory.

Good man!! Cella is a classic IMO for the excellent reason that it delivers great lathers!!

Cella green is definitely in my top 5 of soaps and creams along with Barrister & mann seville, Tobs jermyn street, Razorock XXX & Stirling piacenza

I have the tub of Cella Cream, how different is the big block o' soap?

 

[sscob1]

Cella is my fav.

 

[dieselfuel79]

I’ve recently purchased and used the Cella extra extra bio. It was excellent. I would say in my top 5 for sure.

Yeah thinking about getting the bigger box next time i order. Think it is somewhere around 35$ but it's huge.
Anyone know if their aftershave and balm is good also?

Totally worth it. But next time I get the big kilo box I’m thinking about getting some empty tubs to put it in

If you need soap tubs seriously think about looking on ebay at antique sugar bowl's with lids and creamer sets. Beautiful stuff going cheap cheap. Some of it made in the early 1900's

Regardless what it smells like . . .

Yeah, it's awfully good soap. I like (among other things) the fact that you can get it a bit thicker without it drying up completely. Some soaps are so on the edge between perfect and either easily getting too wet and not offering any protection or getting too dry and getting pasty and messing with the glide of the razor. But Cella is just so easy to use. You get perfect thick slick lather with quite a wide range of water - and if it starts getting a little on the thick side, a few drops of water on the brush and you're back in action. And for God's sake it just keeps producing lather. I could do four full passes (three and a chaser) and still squeeze a full pass worth's out of the brush and it's not like I overload. That's just a normal Cella Brick-soap result. It's not my favorite scent, but it's good and it's not a scent that gets old - so maybe in the final analysis it's an ideal scent and I just need another 20 years using it to realize that. I've heard that it has all natural ingredients and so it can go off after years. I don't know if that's true, but in any case, I keep my brick in the freezer and hack off a sliver when needed.

Cella is highly regarded for a reason, it's good soap! Enjoy your Italian delight.

On my 3rd kilo of Cella, Just love it, Spoon off a tablespoon into my bowl and I get lots of wonderful shaves,. Use only 2 other soaps, Arko Stick shaved and bowl pressed and Williams/Dove mix

@Marco Good sir, do you happen to know if the extra extra bio will be offered in the 1 kg brick at some point?

Hello Brad, I really do not think so. The Extra Extra Bio is too soft to come into a "panetto" (Italian word for "brick"). It's actually a cream rather than a soft soap.

Well whatever it is, it’s marvellous. My 2 bambina’s love it.
