    Default Sorry Cella..

    But my face's allergic to you. Or at least sensitive. I got some Cella in the winter and used it everyday, which led to irritation. I left it alone for awhile to come back to it today: still burns and leaves my face red. I don't know what to do, the lather (before it burns my face) is so luxurious
    Anyone else find that their face can't take cella, and if so what soaps are you finding you have luck with now? (I know everyone's face reacts to products differently, but I'm wondering if there are common themes in relation to face irritation vs. presence/absence of certain products.

    That's it in a nutshell. Could've been any ingredient. Sucks, because Cella is such a great product, but then again there are plenty of other great products out there that'll produce "luxurious" lather without burning your face. Shouldn't have a problem unloading Cella on the BST.

    It really is all James' fault.

    (Okay, maybe Owen had something to do with it as well.

    Cella burns me too. It's too bad because it's obviously a great product. I get along very well with MWF and Mike's. I've also been enjoying a sample of DR Harris Malborough and just ordered a full puck.

    Assuming that one isn't allergic to lanolin, I've heard that MWF is pretty gentle on the face. I'm looking to snag a puck off the BST at one point or another

    Could happen to anyone and any product. There is so much out there, don't just limit yourself to a few or the mainstream products.

    Tcheon fung sing. Barbe rosse available : http://www.barbieredifigaro.nl/index...emid=5&lang=en
    But wait!!! This will be offered soon through Italian Barber for an introductory price of $4. This is Cella "equivalent ". IMHO not. It's much better.

    Truth is Cella is performance wise excellent it just has to much soapy detergent smell to it where TFS actually smells like a luxury shaving soap without smelling like tide. Anyway try it when it comes out it's outstanding.

    I love the scent of Cella but as soon as it touches my face I turn red. I've tried the Cella in the red tub and the brick, same reaction unfortunately.
