Arko performs just as good and has a cushion to the lather. Cella is slick and lathers well, but doesn’t seem to have a cushion. As far as the smell goes, after a couple of uses, it’s not as strong as new.
October 6, 2023 Friday Shave
Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Treet Platinum (2)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Lucky Tiger Aftershave and Face Tonic
Another day in paradise and another great shave with the Overlander. It was a fitting start to a sunny and warm Friday.
In typical Overlander fashion, this three pass shave had no weepers, etc, no irritation.
10/10
Enjoy your day!

I was getting ready to share todays shave at Club Cella. Then saw there was this thread!
Excellent head and face shave, didn't spare the tub, it was full-lather all the way! Didn't need the AS Balm.

Fantastic face and head shave. Copious amounts of thick, slick lather. A razor I am liking more and more with each use. Third shave with the Bolzano blade, zero complaints, it seems to work well for me, smooth shave, no irritation. The Cella AS splash smells awesome to me! Didn't think to use the pre-shave. Figured I may use the Cella AS balm, because I was going for a glassy smooth shave on my dome and face, thankfully no need.
How is it compared to regular Cella?
I actually prefer the Bio to the regular Cella. I think it's the aloe vera that does it for me. It does take a bit more work to get a good thick lather vs the regular Cella.
Used the Cella Pre Shave Gel, skipped the Cella Lozione, used the Cella After Shave Balm (not pictured). Quite a smooth and comfortable shave. Not much of a balm fan, because my skin does a fine job of oiling itself, and it usually feels greasy soon after using it. Will see how this goes today.
Stupendous face and head shave. Probably will run this combination for the near future.
October 8, 2023 Sunday Shave
Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Feather (1)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Timberwolf w/Mysterious Space Handle
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Old Spice Original
Another day in paradise and another great shave.
Since I have a kilo block of Cella red, I'm glad to participate in the Cellatober, October is Cella Month. It has been reported that Cella doesn't store well, so I'm bowl lathering with a generous blob of Cella to make a lot of great slick lather. Better to use it than lose it!
I tried a Feather blade in the Overlander and found it to be a great combination. Very close and smooth.
No weepers, nicks, cuts or irritation. It was easy and very comfortable.

Still using my Cella Mountain. .....but no photo today. My wife just got home yesterday after an equestrian accident 5 weeks ago. Orthopedics, and Plastics...it took a while. I am now running round like a headless chicken attempting to undo everything I have done wrong while on my own for the last 5 weeks.

October 10, 2023 Tuesday Shave
Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (labeled Comfort Coated) (1)
Soap: Cella red
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight Copper
Brush: Omega 10049 Professional Boar
Post shave: Omega alum block, T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Nor'easter
This shave came with a bit of concern, having read about @walpan's bad experience with the Personna Comfort Coated blades purchased from Amazon. Today I opened a brand new box of 100 of those blades, also purchased from Amazon. To my relief, the blade I used was smooth and sharp. I hope the rest of the box is this good!
I keep getting these fabulous shaves from the Overlander. Very close, no weepers, nicks, cuts or irritation.
The abundance of Cella red lather was slick, and the large, well broken in Omega boar brush worked perfectly.

Another face and head shave with nothing to complain about. Simply a darn fine shave.
I just saw this and thought I’d chime in that I’ve participated accidentally. 
I’m current rotating 4 soaps and Cella is one of them. So I’ve used it a couple of times this month.
