Darkwood Beard Shampoo
Darkwood Beard Shampoo
Antica Barbieria Colla
Antica Barbieria Colla has been Milan's barbershop since 1904, still run today by the Bompieri family.
The beard shampoo is not the same problem as the hair shampoo. Facial hair is coarser; the skin beneath it is the skin that a razor meets. The two have different needs, and most formulas don't attend to both. This one does.
Magnesium is the ingredient around which the rest of the composition is built. It reduces itch, calms skin rashes, removes excessive sebum, stimulates circulation, and improves elasticity in the skin beneath the beard. White oak bark, aloe, hydrolysed wheat and silk are in the formula, each with a specific role. The fragrance is darkwood - earthy, dry, present without being heavy.
A painter associated with the Abstract movement in Italy has been coming to Via Gerolamo Morone since the 1970s. He has never cut his beard. Partly, they suggest, because of this.

About the barbershop
Antica Barbieria Colla has been on Via Gerolamo Morone in Milan since 1944 - and in the city, without interruption, since 1904. Dino Colla opened the original barbieria near the Duomo that year, modelled on the private gentlemen's clubs of London. The house survived two addresses and a wartime bombing; Francesca Bompieri, whose father Franco ran it from 1975, runs it today. The product line - hair, skin, beard, shaving, and four signature colognes - traces its formulations to Colla himself, each recipe passed down and quietly refined through the generations of ownership that followed. Everything is hand-made in Italy by specialists who work in direct contact with the house.
