My video review

Lather Quality – 9.5/10: The lather from Cella is really thick, rich, and creamy. It’s pretty easy to whip up mainly because it’s a soft soap/cream or what some call a “croap.” The only reason I dock it .5 points is because I am not producing explosive amounts of lather like I do with other Italian soaps and creams.

Scent – 10/10: The scent is where Cella gets its fans. It smells like marzipan, or for those of you who don’t know what marzipan is; I would describe it as a “cherry almond.” It’s not a very heavy almond, and it has the right mix of cherry in it. I have friends constantly opening this tub to smell it! Overall it makes for a nice sweet scent that is not overpowering and I believe most people would enjoy this on their face.

Price – 4.5/5: The price of the red tub is about $10 for 5.4 oz. That is about $1.85/oz which is a really good price for a quality product.

Slickness – 8/10: I don’t feel like Cella has the same slickness I get with my other soaps. In fact, it may be too thick. The lather is so thick and creamy the blade doesn’t glide as easily on this one. This makes it hard to get all my whiskers in a 3 pass shave, and I find myself often doing extra clean up passes.

Post-shave feel – 8/10: The feel is smooth and the scent stays around for a couple minutes but quickly goes away. My skin feels soft afterwards, but not “baby butt” soft. It’s more like a clean shave soft, but still requires a good aftershave balm to touch it up.

Overall – 8.89/10: I really love this little red tub! It has Italian written all over it. With the marzipan scent, the soft texture, and the great lather it’s proven to be a favorite in many wet shaver’s shave dens. The cream has a nice thick weight to it, and the name is just really fun to say. For those of you who don’t know it’s actually pronounced “Chella,” which sounds like a popular desert dish. Just don’t eat it!

**I really want to try the Cella brick but I don’t want to drop $50 bucks on a kg of soap. Instead I think it would be nice if we could organize a group buy. Let me know!
