3P < Best
Vitos (Red) with glycerine < I'm putting this above Vitos (Green) as it does deliver a smoother post-shave face feel
Vitos (Green) ... but I'd probably still reach for the green over the red if I kept both in (I'm odd)
Cella (present formula) < contentious, but maybe it's because it's still "new"
Cella (old formula) ... maybe just got "old"
TFS < the professional soap from the red dragon box
So, short of it ... buy a tub. If you like Vitos, I'm sure you'll like 3P.
Thanks for that,I have Vitos Supercrema (Classic) which somes in the green box as well as three generations of Cella ... and a pot of 3P. I have used the Vitos Extra Super in the red box as well, but my preference there was for the simpler soap, the only difference I could see in ingredients was the addition of glycerine in the red box.
3P has a very simple ingredient set: Stearic Acid, Aqua, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum & Potassium Carbonate; yet, delivers a wonderfully creamy and slick lather. I'd alsy say the thickness of the lather (which we seem to equate with providing a protective cushion) is on par with Vitos. The scent is mandorla (almond) and it's less acrid than Cella, but (I'd say) longer lasting in the tub than Vitos or TFS.
To my reckoning, with a preference for simpler ingredient sets and taking into account the lather, the cushion and the post-shave face feel, my order of quality would be:

@isaiah53 I'm in complete agreement over the Cella. I find Figaro walks all over it.I'm a fan of 3P too. I've used Vitos and I'd go for 3P over it, and miles better than cella which I find awful.
Anything - I wouldn't say it's a lasting almond scentWhat aftershave/balm do you guys match 3P with?
Thanks Chris, I was after some almondy AS/ASB suggestions as I have a TFS Mandorlatte soap and no matching aftershave stuff to match. But after reading here it seems I have to add to the stock with some 3P, being so highly praised.Anything - I wouldn't say it's a lasting almond scent
Cella do a red aftershave and balm which may give you the almondy scent. I've never used it though so can't confirm.Thanks Chris, I was after some almondy AS/ASB suggestions as I have a TFS Mandorlatte soap and no matching aftershave stuff to match.
