Cella PS, SC, ASB, AS - Red
Zenith Boar
Feather AC DX (Kamisori style)
Schick Proline B-30 (1)
All the Cella love lately....just itching to use mine. Cella shaving cream and after shave lotion was an early wet shaving purchase, both are nearing 2 years old according to purchase receipts, no sign of any fragrance degradation or color change with the cream in the tub. Cella's pre-shave gel and after shave balm was an enabled purchase by Andrew (
@Linuxguile) a couple months later once I found them in stock. All these options from Cella are very nice quality, could easily be a daily driver for shaving if I wasn't a fraghead for the variety of aromas. Super slick and thick bowl lather from the Zenith Boar, it's an olive wood handle. Slightly stiff with it's loft being shorter than my other boar knots, has a nice scrub while continuing to build lather on the face, no scritch. Cella's lather is everything needed for shaving, lots of cushion with a great face feel. Wanted a super easy shave today after the slight glitch with yesterday's Rigarazor outing, so the Feather AC DX blade holder was chosen. This razor originally had scales, but I took them off and wrapped the handle with leather cord to make a kamisori style tool. Loaded with a fresh Proline blade, 2 passes to BBS results, 1 tiny lip dot. Love using this tool now, but early on it was an unforgiving vampire. For me...it requires a super low shaving angle, the spine barely off the skin surface, and controlled momentum as the blade lands/skims the lather skin junction to get it's work done. It's super diminutive size is fun to maneuver, easily taking on even the tiniest of areas under the nostril shadows. Once done, about 1/2 teaspoon of after shave gel, a thin tan cream makes the skin feel very nice. Followed the gel with the set's matching aftershave, has very nice longevity for me. Definitely in the same almond 'marzipan' fragrance category as all the other Cella Red products, the after shave lotion has an added barbershop/clean aroma finish after dry down that is very pleasant. Wifey and family approved.
Hope everyone has a Terrific Thursday!
