Product Overview

This is the cream soap Cella has supplied to professional barbers for over a century, in the Riserva Fresco fragrance and in the large bowl format. Cella describes a thick texture that gives a soft, stable, high-yield lather, with maximum glide on the skin and very high protection.

The bowl is the point of the format. Cella says the maxi bowl makes it easy to load a shaving brush, which is what a barber needs when the same tub has to serve a full day of customers. It works exactly the same way at a home sink.

What This Cream Soap Does

A cream soap sits between a hard puck and a soft cream. It loads onto a wet brush faster than a puck and holds more structure than a cream, which is why it became the barbershop standard: quick to pick up, quick to build, and stable enough to sit on the face while the barber works.

Cella describes the lather as high yield. In practice that means the amount you load from the tub is smaller than it looks like it should be, and a professional-size bowl lasts a very long time at home.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Soak the brush in warm water, shake it out, and load straight from the tub with a circular motion. Build the lather on the face or in a bowl, adding water a little at a time rather than all at once.

Load less than you think. A cream soap picks up more product per pass than a hard puck does.

Care and Storage

Close the tub after use and keep it somewhere dry. Do not leave standing water sitting on the surface of the soap.
