Cool shot, Murray. But what is that blue pencil leaning against? :001_cool:

apparently it's the barber's pen and spare glasses, sitting next to a newspaper and magazine beside the 'spare' chair.
tiny shop, probably not more than 8 ft wide!

and Proraso contributed to the renovation, certainly with consideration for the product placement! See it here on their website!

Ah yes, it's the corner of the newspaper - mystery solved! And great pics of the barbershop!

thanks!
yet more info here.

unfortunately, valobra is either closed or not open to public, having been acquired by Proraso, so i had to pass on visiting there.

but there were several other nice 'shaving gems' found in Genoa; I'll post about them soon under general topics.

An odd pairing with the MdC Rose and Clubman aftershave, but strangely, it works.
