It's not and IMO is as good if not better.
Has Cella Red tub been reformulated??

I tried 3P a little while ago and unfortunately I reacted to it , else it would have been a great choice.

Yep, 3P is coconut oil based opposed to tallow, and it's produces a truly delightful lather - one of the better ones I've come across, however quite a few seem to react to the soap.

Tcheon Fung sing shaving block almond at Connaught is also vegan friendly just another option if you haven't seen it already
Vitos Vegetale is very good, imo. Its almond fragrance is more pronounced than Cella or Vitos.

Oddly enough I reacted to cella and not 3P, and I prefer the performance of 3P. In general I think 3P is a lot better than cella.

The 3P I've had in the past had the following ingredient list: Stearic Acid, Aqua, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum & Potassium Carbonate ... but looking for it today, I'm finding it listed as "enriched with glycerin, palm oil and aloe vera juice for a smooth, comforting shave" none of which were in the soap I had in the past. Maybe that's had a reformulation since.
Either way, I really enjoyed 3P when I used it. I did not like Cella. Do love VITOS Supercrema, but not tried the Vegetale. If an all veg constitution is what is being sought, I'd recommend 3P but with the above query on ingredients.
EDIT: Looking closely at the brick that Connaught sell, it would appear to be the same as the ingredient list above. Perhaps those other ingredients pertain to the cream? The cream is a bit like Prep Creme, more of a pre/post shave cream but I've used it very successfully for actually shaving. It's latherless and VERY slick. Back to the soap, it does look like the ingredients are as they were when I used it a few years ago.

Thank you, you're a bloody lifesave, because, I was thinking of getting the block size. NOW! I'm not bloody touching it, I'll stick to the new tub size.
The block doesn't contain the last ingredient, but it's the same as aside from that.
