The pattern on this bowl is my favorite in the Turkish line. Has over a 100 bumps and ridges to help retain water and aid in building bellowing lather.

As for the test soap:
Easy of Lather 8/10: For me, lathering was real easy, and the soap bellowed up nice and fluffy. Non airy but not as thick as I normally like as I go for the yogurt like consistency but then this is just the first go with this soap.

Slickness and protection7/10: The Rocnel yesterday and ONEBLADE today slid over my face and neck with ease and all that was required was a 2 pass shave with no touch ups. Protection was good but not what I am normally use to with other soaps I tend to reach for. After final rinse off some of the slickness was gone and when I used the Monster Alum Block that I use after every shave, I could feel some sting from irritation that I have experienced with most of my other soaps. Not saying this is bad as I did not have an redness or felt irritation while shaving just something I noted after the shave.

Aroma 6/10: Popping the lid the aroma was perfect in strength for me but once I added water the aroma to me was cut in half. Now I do have lifelong sinus issues but I expected the aroma to explode not mellow out like it did, or at least for me. Once lathered the scent turned more to a mild Pina Colada or a Marzipan(almond/honey) so will be interesting to see what scent Scott has chosen for this. I think the scent has be beefed up some but a tricky thing as you don't want it to be too sweet to the nose

Tomorrows shave, the symmetrical bowls are my favorite bowls to use and have 3 of them. Overkill yes,

Besides being beautiful the bowl sound extraordinarily functional. Thanks for the CC test soap eval.

@ronweston you bet I'm loving it like I said you better hurry and grab some before it too late, otherwise your going back to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" no wonder you didn't get you're fair share of the PdP No. 63 treasure

Don't worry, I'm getting the soap. Thanks.

 

[ronweston]

Performance wise it was decent. It lathers very easily, but is very easy to miss the sweet spot for water. I'm not too keen on the scent. Those who really enjoy vetivers would like it I would imagine, however I don't happen to be one of those.

Thanks, Josh. I had heard that the scent was somewhat of an acquired taste.

 

[ronweston]

The Cella is great, I had a tub of soap already so when they released the new splash and balm I thought I would give it a shot, the splash is very light and not over powering and has a hint of almond to it and the balm is very thin and not greasy but it also takes very little to do the job, both I feel will last a long time, I have liked Cella products from day one so it's not a hard decision to keep them in my rotation.

Thanks. I was hoping to hear good things about the AS and balm. Just put them on my acquisition list.
