Cella Milano Classic Italian Almond Shaving Cream – Premium Tallow-Based Wet Shave Cream/Soap for Men - Rich Moisturizing Lather - A favorite of European Barbershops for 125 Years (5.2 oz / 150g)

I have sensitive skin, but I had read reviews that Cella was fine for sensitive skin, so I tried it and I love it! The scent is a mild almond cherry and is very pleasing. It doesn't make me sneeze or irritate my skin, which is always my problem with soaps. It is a soft cream/soap and it lathers exceptionally well. The foam is slick and protective, and it is tied for the best performing soap I have, along with Proraso white and Mitchell's Wool Fat. I've only used it for a week, so I don't know how long the puck will last, but since it's a croap I doubt it'll last as long as the hard soaps. Still, it's a fantastic shaving experience and well worth every penny. Right now it's my favorite shaving soap and I highly recommend it! Edit: I had assumed that since it was not a hard soap that it wouldn't last long, but I've had it for months and have barely made a dent in it. It's only been these past few weeks that I've been using it everyday though. Still, I've used it enough to say that it is a great buy for the money. Edit 2: It lasted approximately 8 months of shaving 4-5 times a week!

This is great soap. I've been trying out shaving soaps and this lathers up just as well, maybe better, than a number of the more expensive soaps. Using saving soap is a bit of an art. You've got to get the right soap to water ratio and mix it with a decent brush. It seems that stiffer brushes work better with soaps. A boar hair, pure badger, or super badger brushes are probably better than a silver tip badger, but a lot of people really prefer the soft silver tip brush and you can mix up lather with them. Practice and experimenting will pay-off. This would be a great soap to start out with because it is inexpensive and of a higher quality. My first soap was a cheap Walmart soap. It taught me how bad a soap can be and it really was like using hand soap. That soap smelled cheap. Cella has a fresh almond scent, which is not overwhelming and dissipates so that it does not conflict with other aftershaves or colognes. Cella would also make a good long term soap. I don't mean imply it is only for beginners and it will be in my cabinet for a long time to come. Happy shaving. Oct 1---A lot of folk really like to use a badger shave brush, and I will admit that the softer bristles are nice, but as I mention above a stiffer brush can work well with soaps. I have a super badger brush and my brother has a pure badger. The silver tip is the softest and the super is a middle soft/stiff badger brush. I have been using the super badger for some time and like it with the soap, but I decide to pick up a quality boar hair out of curiosity. (Vulfix makes several and you can find them here on Amazon). Don't be afraid to give these boar hair brushes a try. They are of a lower price but not of a lower quality. My boar hair is incredible with this Cella soap. I mean really amazing. I am getting my best lather yet! The best lather I ever got from a can was Nivea sensitive skin (I still like that stuff. If you got to get a can, get Nivea). But with the boar brush and the Cella soap I am getting an even thicker rich lather! than the Nivea or the Cella with the super badger. Give the boar hair a try. A great shave does not have to be expensive.

Long lasting container, clean lite scent, very nice lather, one of the better choices, yes I did buy it again

It's a great addition to my shaving creams and soaps. My shave: I have a medium beard, shave with hot water or after shower, Merkur Mk34c razor, oil or cream pre shave, apply lather, 2 to 3 passes, alum bar, aftershave balm. The first thing I noticed was the smell and the second was it’s not quite a cream and not quite a shaving soap puck. You probably can apply it directly on a moist face with your palms like Proraso and Cremo creams, but I use a brush. Lather - whips up a nice thick and fluffy lather but not at first, I started using less water and that seemed to do the trick. I also used a stiffer brush and it lathered up really fast in about 30 seconds. Scent - I like. It smells exactly like marzipan which is an almond paste candy covered with rich chocolate or maybe a rich chocolate cherry almond slice of cake selected off of a dessert tray at a fine restaurant. Shaving - goes on rich, covers face completely, soaks beard soft, gives a smooth clean shave on two to three passes although you can get a pretty good shave on one pass in a hurry. However, it drys out on my face, I apply to entire face but I shave one side at a time then brush the other side to moisten and shave. My first shaves I tried it sans pre shaves, by itself it is very slick so there’s no cuts and no burns. With pre shave oil or cream lather up with one pass good shave, two passes or more I get a great shave that leaves softness and moisture on my face.

Good but not great for shaving Smells very nice. Faintly of almonds and pure like Ivory soap Doesn't leave as much scum in the sink as better shave soaps. Container is a bit small and a bit slow to lather.

People, stop buying that expensive goop Gillette is pawning off as shave gel. Yes, Cella a little more expensive but it lasts much much longer than $7 can of Gillette goop. This is also better for your skin. Keep in mind this is not a soap nor a creme but 'soft creme' meaning it is firm but still soft. Lathers super easy. The scent says Almond but to me it smells like cherry. But it doesn't matter because I like the scent and the performance is out of this world.

I have a great rotation of shave soaps and creams. Cella red makes an amazing yogurt like lather that makes for a wonderful shave. I like to lather it directly on my face. Cella is thirsty and likes water to achieve a yogurt like lather with a wonderful cushion and slickness for an efficient smooth shave. I found a quality synthetic brush is perfect for Cella Red and brush loads fast, in around 15 seconds

awesome shaving soap with a great scent....very thick lather...highly recommend.

無難です。

Tras un uso continuado de este jabón de afeitar, puedo confirmar que se trata de una compra altamente recomendable para quienes buscan un afeitado tradicional de calidad. Estos son los puntos más destacados: Calidad de la espuma: Genera una emulsión notablemente densa, rica y duradera. Mantiene sus propiedades durante todo el proceso de afeitado sin secarse prematuramente, facilitando un deslizamiento óptimo de la hoja. Gran durabilidad: Es un producto extremadamente cundidor. Con un uso diario, la unidad alcanza una vida útil de al menos 6 meses, lo que supone una eficiencia económica excepcional. Aroma con personalidad: Posee una fragancia clásica y muy penetrante que evoca los aromas de antaño. Es importante advertir que, debido a su intensidad inicial, puede no ser del agrado de todos los usuarios; no obstante, el aroma no perdura excesivamente tras el aclarado, lo que permite el uso posterior de otros productos de cuidado sin interferencias olfativas. Una inversión inteligente para el cuidado personal. Si se busca eficacia técnica y un rendimiento prolongado, este jabón es, sin duda, una buena compra.

Excelente, huela a almendras y cereza. Hace espuma rápido. Creo que podrían rediseñar el envase haciéndo un poco más ancho de arriba como los de proraso. Es de muy buena calidad comparado con algunos de gama más alta. El aroma no perdura tanto, pero lo importante es que lubrica muy bien.

سىء رائحة كريهة ويجف بسرعه على الخد وهو كريم ليس صابون

avant j'utilisais du proraso j'avais toujours ma peau hérité et aussi un tests avec l'application pour voir sont contenu 48% de naturelle contre ce produit a 88% de naturelle il mousse très très vite et il s'en comme de la colle d'époque qu'ont m'étais en bouche
