soap qualities
I have noticed in the last few days that my quality of shave with cella has gone down. Ive been using it daily for 3 weeks. but suddenly the quality of the shave has gone down majorly.

Tom, that would usually be something about the blade. Do you think your blade has dulled, or in the alternative, have you changed out the blade (or razor) about the same time your results suddenly started deteriorating? If you're using enough soap and getting the lather you want, it's probably not the fault of the soap.

Then I think it's the blade's edge or an issue with the technique affecting the blade's contact with the surface, angle for instance. YMMV, of course.

Re: soap qualities
When I was using Williams, that if I left the puck wet, the next day the lather would be absolutely fantastic, but that only worked for a short time and then I paid the piper after that and the lather wasn't lather, just foam. Are you treating the Cella in a like manner?
