BTW, has anyone seen an ingredient list for the new Cella soap?
New Cella containers ( Aluminum ??? )
- Thread starter malocchio
- Start date
And those who have had reactions to the scent of the original. Even if it’s not tallow based I’d still be willing to give it a try. My biggest issue with the bio wasn’t that it’s vegan but I wasn’t a big fan of the smell
do they have the formulation and scent quality to justify the price though? or is it just more expensive because its different and comes in a new container?
Nobody seems to know at this point. I haven't seen any ingredient lists or any details like that.
Seems like since it’s still fairly new most people here haven’t tried it yet. If anyone has ordered outside of Italy or Europe I suspect they’re still waiting on it to arrive. Just have to wait for any reviews
Available in the Netherlands.

I wonder if barbershops get a discount. Otherwise I only see this as collector item for the aluminum can, not for the contents.
The new line might be useful to establish a new price point for at least part of their portofolio, they might have noticed that wet shaving becomes a gentlemen hobby, with gentleman being defined as someone with a lot of money and little objections to overspending and overpaying.

Maybe they have learned from Musgo Real and decided to create an up-market product range with corresponding prices.
Marketing that through up-market, fancy-schmancy barbershops would get the attention of the fancy-schmancy crowd (while us peasants keep slugging it out with 150ml tubs and 1kg blocks).

I never liked the smallish container, so hopefully the new one is larger.
That said, I am pretty sure TFS Almond is 100 percent the same and about half the price of the original Cella.
So TFS gets my vote, not Cella.

Has anyone been able to find a vendor that ships this to the USA? I’ve only found one vendor that has it but it seems like they only ship to Europe

Next time I get a 1 kg block/bar (TFS seems to call them bar), I will compare.
Is the single blade line discontinued already?
That would be a shame because both the green and the blue one are amongst my favorite scents..
Only in certain markets. Not an insuperable barrier to the B&B brotherhood!

I believe they have discontinued the soaps and creams but still produce the colognes and beard care items etc. Certainly that is all I could find on their website. You may still be able to find old stock creams and soaps. I could be completely wrong
No, I think you are right. On the Italian website there is no mention of the single blade line whatsoever......I believe they have discontinued the soaps and creams but still produce the colognes and beard care items etc. Certainly that is all I could find on their website.

And here's me doing a sabattical and I can't buy any if I could find them.....
Just the beardcare and the cologne products.. What a shame..
And on the Cella. I found the TFS Almond soap to be even better than Cella. Cheap aswell.
Just checked my cupboard and thank god I have 2 sets each of both the Cypress and Vetiver and the Azur lime.
I think I will be good until I'm 90 years old and too senile to remember I liked them a lot...

Interesting! As long-time Cella afficionado, I will have to give it a try. I am not a fan of their new vegan stuff in the green cans.
I would like to argue that the vintage design and the grandpa on the Cella package brought them so many sales that the artist deserves another bonus.
I actually like the Aloe version for the smell. Haven't really noticed a big difference in performance.
But that could just be me, not being too picky. I do tend to like tallow soaps more than vegan alternatives.
I think if I were to buy one of those blocks my wife would escort me of the premises and tell me I could use it as a pillow, sleeping under a bridge.
