This was a typical shave: efficient performance by an open comb razor, and superb lather by Cella. I know many people dislike the scent of Cella, but it has excellent performance regardless. Astra SP blades have always been a bit harsh on my skin, but I only have two boxes left, so soon they will be gone. Also, while witch hazel isn't the first thing that comes to mind for an aftershave, it really does a great job--just without the fancy scents.
