Cella was one of my first soaps. I love it like you Teddy. I don't have any issues with almond oil either. Can see wher that could be problematic for some. I still look forward to my Cella shaves.

I have to wait for fall/winter to use red Cella. Usually the week before Thanksgiving. I try to be disciplined about using particular soaps in particular seasons.

Does that make me weird?

Hmmmm........

I enjoy the scent of Cella.  I just really get inflamed if I use it often.  Strange enough Willams Mug soap was ok for me at 99 cents a piece.  

It’s not the sweet almond oil it’s the fragrance oil that kills me in this one.  I can use some fragrance oils and some I can’t.  

100% sure I can use sweet almond oil, had a custom product made with all natural in it.

Too bad about the Cella. It has a really clean ingredient list but it is not uncommon for some people to react to that soap.

We are living in a crazy wet shave world where tallow based Williams at 99 cents/puck could not survive but we have a proliferation of $30.00 artisan soaps.

Go figure

Go figure

Cella (red, tallow based) , a boar hair brush, a Tech, a Persona blue tuck of blades and Nivea aftershave balm + Patience +Practice = Great outcomes for person and the wallet  98% of times

And then we have Razors going for hundreds of dollars... which if they go out of production become a collectors items then going for 1000s of dollars.

Awesome! Is there a modern low cost equivalent to the Gillette Tech razor?
Sorry for my ignorance; I am not a DE guy.

This head is slightly more efficient and aggressive than a Gillette Tech https://maggardrazors.com/products/magga...cf08&_ss=r candidly it is a sleeper.
