    Default Is Cella That Good?

    I'm at a point now where I've tried quite a few quality soap's. This morning, using Cella for the first time (with a new blade), the lather looked and felt really really good. I initially thought that I just happened to catch it perfect on the mixing of it. Here's the freaky part. I had expected it to be decent from reading the reviews. But I got the closest, smoothest, irration free, nick free, and the most glide I've ever had with ANY shave. I mean BBS wasn't even the right term, this was so good. Well to say the least, I was very surprised. I'm wondering if all of this was just a major coinsidence, or if any of you gent's had had similar experience with this soap. Is it possible that a $12 soap could be the best that I've ever used? Amazing!

    it's a good soap, i wouldn't call it the BEST though.

    i use Cella often and get a good shave from it each time, it lathers well, smells ok and i have 1/3 of a Kg. not sure i would buy it again, but i wouldn't turn it down either (if that makes sense).

    i prefer RazoRock for the scent, price and overall effectiveness of it.

    Cella is one of my favorites, and certainly one of the best soaps available. However, IMHO it is not uniquely better than some of the other great soaps that B&B members rave about. Isn't it nice to find something new that makes shaving a pleasure?

    Perhaps it's just particularly easy to lather... ?

    I use Cella almost exclusively at the moment.

    Cella is pretty good. So are Speick and Tabac, which are both tallow soaps as well. Price is no indication of quality, a lot of the more traditional barber style products will perform just as well, or better than expensive brands.

    Cella smells odd to me. I don't like the clump that I have to beat to a pulp and lather. While it may be good I think a lot of people like it because of the novelty of being a soft soap. It's cool. And, yes, it works. I think there's better and haven't yet written home about Cella. Now, there was this woman named, Ciera. She was written home about.

    so there you have it. some say it's the BEST EVER, some say Nah..take it or leave it.

    like everything, it's a YMMV type of product. works for some, but not for others.

    best off trying it and seeing for yourself. i'm guessing you won't hate it, but you also may not love it.

    also, shouldn't this be in the SHAVE SOAP thread?

    It's in my rotation, it's not my favorite though. During the winter, I'll take GFT Limes over Cella and during the summer Proraso over Cella. But I do through Cella into the rotation all year.

    Ah, I have tried it, if you even bothered to read my original post.



    To everyone else, your input is appreciated. Also, if I dropped this in the wrong forum, I apoligize. Seem's as though the "it's not in the correct forum police" are out.
