CELLA Shaving cream Soap - XL GIANT Size - One Kilo Box 1000GR - almond shave creme - Fills cella container 12 times !!

This shave soap was rated one of the best on most shave websites so had to try/buy it for the old man. What is so great? First is the yummy almond smell that makes me want to use it often. Whether shaving your face or legs....great with a double edge razor. And with the size...this one is gonna last a LONG while!

The absolutely best shaving soap on the planet!

The seal was broken and the weight was short about 5%. The lather and protection is good but it leaves my face a little dry. I gave away half and it will still last for years. There are better shaving cremes out the but not at this price.

This product covers all bases; value and performance.

This is my favorite shaving soap. awesome!

I shave in the shower, by feel, with a dull old Gilette Mach III, from south to north, against the grain. I use a boar brush (Omega Pro) and work for less than a minute to get the lather up, using water that drips off my nose onto the soap in some random mug I got for free. Ive been using Cella for a year now. This stuff creates the best lather I have ever experienced from a shaving soap. I was afraid I would not like the almond smell, but its really really subtle and, as others have said, pleasant! Forget all the boutique overpriced quadruple-milled nonsense. Just buy a kilo of Cella, press a small amount into the bottom of a free mug you got at a convention, and you wont need anything for a couple years. It makes lather like Barbasol, only smells better and all-natural and no waste.

Wow, I love the smell and I love the performance. I am leaving cartridge shaving for DE shaving. I did a fair amount of online browsing for lathers. This seemed to always be among those favored by seasoned DE shavers and you cant beat the price. I purchased a schone lather dish to hold it. I cut up the block into 6 pieces and vacuum sealed the remaining 5 pieces.

TLDR: If you experience ANY TINGLING OR BURNING sensation while using this soap WASH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY and relather with a different soap, or be even more cautious and terminate your shave for the day. I have experienced PERSISTING SKIN SENSITIVITY after using this soap for a single shave. I preface this review with the fact that I dont write many of these and almost no negative reviews despite being a very longtime Amazon customer. However I feel compelled to speak up in this case. I generally use regular Barbasol aerosol foam and a DE razor. But I also face lather with Arko sticks and a boar brush if Im feeling like I want to take a little more time and enjoy myself. However with so much more time due to the COVID-19 situation I decided to branch out a bit and bought this big block of Cella tallow soap thinking it would probably be similar to Arko. I like an almond scent which was another reason I chose this soap. By way of background: for bath purposes Ive used Ivory bar soap for 30+ years. Ive used Dr. Bronners almond soap, both liquid and solid -- but mostly liquid for the last 20+ years for bath, but mostly dishes and utility purposes but in any case in direct contact on my bare skin without incident. I also have eaten raw and roasted almonds for my entire life -- to this day -- without any reaction or problem whatsoever. I state all this to indicate that I dont favor particularly mild soaps or have any issue with almond soaps. I also have occasionally used Noxema on my face and dont mind a strong tingly soaps, per se. That said, the very first time I used this Cella soap with a boar brush I started to feel a tingling around my mouth and lips before I even started shaving. By the end of the first pass, using my usual DE razor with a very common blade that works well for me, the prickly burning sensation around my mouth was very strong. I applied a second coat of lather and started a second pass, but about halfway through I realized that something very bad was happening to my face/skin. I stopped the second pass after only one side of my face and rinsed the soap off. But even afterwards the burning persisted and while it felt like me skin and lips were burned and puffing up, there was no visible signs of burning or damage. This prickliness and tingling lasted 3-4 days, but with no signs of rash or damage. I have never experienced anything like this with any skincare product. It seemed almost like a neurological effect, such as capsaicin might produce, rather than an actual chemical burn. It has now been two weeks since that shave and I still notice sensitivity even while shaving with my standard soaps (Arko and Barbasol) around my mouth and lips. I find I must shave faster than previously and rinse the soap off quickly to avoid a burning sensation. While it is lessening with time, the fact that a single application of Cella caused such a persistent reaction made me want to warn others of this possibility. I am hoping this skin sensitivity will continue to decrease and also that I can save others the experience I have had.

Im a woman in my 40s who switched over from canned Barbasol & shave gels over a year ago. My preference is for croaps - cross between a hard cream & a soft soap - and in my regular shave rotation are Proraso green, white & red, Cella, and Arko. Cella has a pliable, clay-like consistency you can mold with your hands, so you can use this large refill to fill your empty containers without any grating or melting - just cut off a chunk & press it into your container. I am in a hot climate so I store my large block in a gallon ziplock bag in my fridge. I cut my block in a tic-tac-toe pattern to refill the standard 5.4 oz. plastic Cella bowl, for 9 refills. Cella has an almond scent, lathers easily & well, tons of slickness thanks to tallow, and I find it the most moisturizing out of the soaps Ive used, probably due to coconut oil as the first ingredient. If youre a woman looking for a good budget-friendly shaving soap, Cella & Proraso white (the sensitive skin version) are the most feminine/least overtly-masculine scents in my opinion - Cella being the more moisturizing of those two. Obviously Im a fan of this soap since I bought the massive brick, and it will always be in my rotation.

This is ever so slightly nicer than the Vitos Red I had prior. This wins out by a nose. My $.02
