    Well, shucks! I guessed wrong! I really thought the Cella was going to win out. Great job on the review!
    Enjoy your vacation!!!!

    Didn't see it coming and thought the Cella would have dominated.

    Best option at the low price point; ery'body should just try both of these old classics.

    Nice review!

    I agree with you both are definitely worth having

    So does this mean we have our first upset?

    I would say yes, but I do agree with your ratings across the board. It has been a while since I have used either, but my memory leans only to Cella's slicker and denser lather. When you factor in the other variables, I think you probably have it right.

    Sounds like everyone should break out some Proraso Red to see if it’s that good.

    It has been a long, long time...your point is valid. Cella is in my rotation, but I haven't used Proraso Red in years.

    Thanks that’s why I’m using the factors I’m using because some people may care about one more than another etc. I know personally post Shave goes a long way for me so even if Proraso “lost” I would pick it for myself on post Shave alone. It may not matter as much to other shavers do I make sure to write all 5 up so people can make a decision if that’s what they are looking for. I use 5 metrics to keep it balanced and minimize the odds of a tie.

    It’s probably worth for the post shave feel alone. It’s one of the best post shaves I have from a veggie soap.

    Guess I'll have to buy some Proraso Red now! Since I don't have any Proraso, but I DO have Cella, that's what I went with this morning!

    Both are in my rotation. I also prefer the red. Using a straight; I prefer slickness and glide of the red over the thickness and cushion of Cella. Scent wise the red wins by a nose ;)

    Next weeks showdown is going to be a big one. My favorite mass market soap versus my favorite artisan soap.
