Another Genoa shaving mecca find, thanks to my Genoa guide, Sandra!
Just around the block from Ferrari Plaza. Vico del Erbe 6r. See biz card with address in pics.
Antica Drogheria Casaleggio, or Ancient Drugstore Casaleggio.
Andrea is proprietor.
He had an extensive stock of Italian and English shaving items.
Many soaps, creams, lotions, fragrances, brushes.
A few various DE and SE razor.
Proraso, Fine, Simpson, Truefitt, Trumpers, more.
Plus many varieties of Marseilles soap and assorted cosmetic/beauty items, honeys, herbal items, lotions, candies, liqueurs.
Very friendly proprietor and store clerk.
They also sold bulk Italian almond shave croap, by the gram.
(FWIW, I've seen earlier Google Earth photos of the store, that displayed much larger stock of Valobra soaps.)
Prices were OK, not the highest but not the cheapest.
I happily bought a chunk of the bulk almond shave soap, a midget Omega, a bottle of Acqua de Genova lemony cologne, some Marseilles soap blocks.
Overall, a not-to-miss stop on any wet-shaver's visit to Genoa!
