But - I wanted to break out the Cella which I haven’t shaved with in almost 3 years - this was one of my first shave soaps that I bought - bought it off eBay - some dude in Louisiana was selling 100g chucks off his kilo brick (if this were the 80’s that would have a different connotation).

Since Cella AS doesn’t match the scent of the soap - I thought I’d use the Chella Cool - the soap is subtle almond, cherry, marzipan……this is in your face almond, cherry, marzipan plus a heft bite of menthol. To be honest - this would be a perfect match for the WTF Stranger Things shave soap which is crushed baked almonds getting stuffed in your mouth while you are water boarded with almond milk - yeah it’s that hefty on the almonds - this AS might actually tamper it down.

Since today is National Cocktail Day - thought I’d use a cocktail frag - and while I have other frags that are more heavy on the booze - this bottle says cocktail……

Have a great start to your weekend!
 
Over 3 years on the Cella hm? How did you store it? How’s the scent?

I found mine began to lose scent after a few years.

The scent is a little lighter than I remember - I can still smell the marzipan and almond - the cherry is lot lighter now than I remember. I store it in a airtight pyrex container - and out of the light. But the AS makes up for it - I still smell it now hours after the shave 😂
