Cella Almond Shaving Cream, 150 ml

This is a really wonderful shaving cream.

Really nice on the skin and good foaming. Smells nice too

Was a bit expensive, but good quality, smell and have a good lather and a smooth shave .

I hate electric shaving! So for 40 years I have wet shaved - it feels great, clean, and smells fantastic. So....I have probably used most products on the market. I won't be unrealistic and say this is the best, but it is certainly premium and competes with the "Mayfair" brands which seems to dominate, and is a little bit cheaper. Definitely in the top 10 shaving creams (don't buy shaving soap BTW as it is a million miles away from shaving cream.)

Lathers up well with a brush and had longevity.

This is by far the best shaving cream I have tried. That being said, shaving is a package deal so your mileage may vary.I have been using a merkur futur (at setting 2) with astra superior platinum blades. I use a boar hair brush. I shave 2 or 3 times a week (depending on my day offs), two passes with and one pass against the grain.In these two years I have made various experiments, changing one thing at a time. As far as shaving creams and soaps go, I have tried Tabac shaving cream, Tabac shaving soap, Arko shaving soap, Proraso Sandalwood shaving cream. I wet my brush, brush it on the soap or apply some cream on it then lather straight on my stuble (hence the boar hair instead of badger).Although I found that everything mostly works well enough, with Proraso being my favourite, this Cella cream-soap is by far the best. It creates a creamy lather that is less prominent that Proraso's but offers better glide - I might switch the futur to a 2.5 or 3 with this one. Same or even smaller quantity than Proraso on the brush will last for 3 good passes as well. Better glide is not always good because usually you need to apply more pressure to get a close shave which is a big no no with DE razors (any razor tbh) but that is not the case with Cella. I find it has a prefect balance.Although a £6 tub has an excellent cost for value, I've bought a bowl and a 1kg brick since the tub is slightly smaller than I would like when picking it up with the brush.

Lathers well after a bit of work, smells nice. Only thing to note is it's not a cream.

Half way house between a cream and a soap . Lathers up nice and is nice and slick. Good value for money.
