Italian Goods: Commercial Drive, Vancouver

I've heard there's always a good Italian Grocer in every major city. Looking for Proraso aftershave I found La Grotta Del Formaggio at 1791 Commercial drive. As with most Italian grocers they sell cheese, sausages, pasta, sauces, etc.. And like most Italian grocers they have a little section of Italian grooming imports. This includes the entire line of Proraso, incl. the aftershave, which happens to not be available at Shoppers Drug Mart, I bought for $16. No Acgua Di Parma but Pino Silvestre colognes and brilliantines are carried along with Malizia Uomo Vetyver aftershave, soaps, and sprays. Another find was Borotalco talc for $2.99 a bottle. A world renowned talc selling online for unusually high prices. The aftershave is great BTW, with the expected kick of menthol and the healing tingle of witch hazel and allontoin. Great scent as well that doesn`t hang around long, but, would make a great cologne.
