Cella Milano is a historic Italian wet shaving brand founded in Milan in 1899. For more than 125 years, the company has been associated with traditional shaving soap, classic barbershop grooming, and Italian soapmaking craftsmanship.
Cella first became popular among professional barbers for its concentrated shaving cream soap, which was developed to produce a rich, creamy lather while helping soften facial hair before shaving.
The brand's traditional manufacturing process involves heating and mixing carefully selected ingredients in a steam boiler, followed by a slow maturation period. This method remains an important part of Cella's identity.
Today, Cella offers shaving soaps, creams, pre-shave products, aftershaves, beard care, and grooming sets, combining its historic formulations with newer product lines.
Cella Milano Shaving Soaps and Creams
Cella shaving soaps and creams are designed to produce a dense, hydrated lather that helps provide lubrication and cushioning during traditional wet shaving.
The brand is particularly known for its soft shaving cream soap, which has a consistency between a firm shaving soap and a traditional shaving cream.
Cella Milano Classic Almond Shaving Cream
Cella's Classic Almond Shaving Cream is one of the brand's most recognizable products.
Featuring the signature red packaging and sweet almond fragrance, this traditional Italian shaving cream soap is made using a production method dating back to 1899.
Its concentrated formula is designed to create a creamy, compact lather that helps soften facial hair and support comfortable razor glide.
The classic almond scent has a sweet, marzipan-like character that makes it especially recognizable among traditional wet shaving enthusiasts.
Cella offers its classic shaving cream in a 150 ml bowl and larger professional formats, including a 1,000 ml size.
Cella Milano Bio Organic Shaving Cream
Cella Bio Organic Shaving Cream offers an alternative to the brand's traditional almond formula.
The Bio Organic range emphasizes certified organic ingredients and features aloe vera in its shaving preparations.
The shaving cream is designed to create a soft, lubricating lather while providing a comfortable shaving experience.
It is a suitable option for customers interested in Cella's organic-focused grooming line.
Cella Milano EPIC Shaving Cream
The Cella EPIC range offers additional shaving cream formulations and fragrances.
The Razor Company carries EPIC Riserva Fresco and EPIC Sandalwood Shaving Cream in 300 ml containers.
These products provide alternatives for wet shavers who want to explore Cella beyond its traditional almond scent.
Cella Classic vs. Bio Organic Shaving Cream
Both Cella Classic and Bio Organic shaving creams are designed for traditional wet shaving, but they offer different formulations and fragrance experiences.
Cella Classic Almond emphasizes the brand's original soapmaking tradition, concentrated lather, and distinctive sweet almond fragrance.
Cella Bio Organic focuses on certified organic ingredients and a formulation featuring aloe vera.
Both products can be used with a shaving brush and are designed to help prepare facial hair for shaving.
The better choice depends on personal preferences for fragrance, ingredients, and shaving cream texture.
Cella Milano Pre-Shave Products
Pre-shave products help prepare facial hair and skin before applying shaving soap or cream.
Cella offers pre-shave gels designed to complement its shaving products.
The Razor Company carries Cella Milano Pre Shave Gel and Pre Shave Gel Organic in 75 ml formats.
These products can be incorporated into a traditional wet shaving routine when additional preparation or lubrication is desired.
For best results, apply the pre-shave product according to its instructions before building your shaving lather.
Cella Milano Aftershaves
Cella produces aftershave lotions, balms, and fragrances designed to complete a traditional grooming routine.
Cella After Shave Lotion
Cella Milano After Shave Lotion offers a traditional liquid aftershave experience with a fresh, aromatic fragrance.
Aftershave lotion is generally applied following shaving to provide a refreshing sensation and leave a light fragrance on the skin.
Cella After Shave Balm
Cella Milano After Shave Balm provides a moisturizing alternative to traditional aftershave splashes.
Its balm consistency is suited to customers who prefer a conditioning post-shave product.

Cella Milano Beard and Moustache Care
In addition to traditional shaving products, Cella produces beard and moustache grooming essentials.
The brand's broader range includes beard shampoos, beard oils, protective balms, and grooming brushes.
These products are designed for men who maintain facial hair rather than shaving completely.
Beard shampoo helps cleanse facial hair and remove everyday buildup.
Beard oil provides conditioning that can help soften coarse facial hair.
Beard balm helps manage and condition facial hair while providing some styling control.
Beard brushes help distribute grooming products and maintain a neat appearance.
Cella's beard care products extend the brand's traditional Italian grooming approach beyond wet shaving.
Cella Milano Shaving Sets and Gift Sets
Cella offers grooming sets that combine complementary products for a more complete shaving routine.
The Razor Company carries several Cella shaving sets, including traditional and Bio Organic options.
Depending on the set, these may contain shaving cream, aftershave balm, shaving soap, or a shaving brush.
Shaving sets are a convenient option for customers beginning traditional wet shaving or those interested in trying several Cella products together.
Always review the individual product listing to confirm the contents of a particular set.
How to Use Cella Shaving Cream
Cella shaving cream soap is traditionally used with a shaving brush.
- Wet your shaving brush with warm water.
- Load a small amount of Cella shaving cream onto the brush.
- Begin working the cream into a lather using circular movements.
- Add small amounts of water until the lather becomes creamy and hydrated.
- Apply the lather evenly across the shaving area.
