Antica Barbieria Colla has been Milan's barbershop since 1904, still run today by the Bompieri family. The bowl is where the ritual begins. Hard soap or shaving cream, a damp brush , circular movements until the lather is thick - the bowl is what makes that possible, what holds the soap steady and gives the brush somewhere to work. Antica Barbieria Colla's is polished stainless steel: chosen for its weight, which keeps the bowl from tipping when the brush is inside, and for its resistance to oxidation over years of daily use. Compact enough to hold in one hand. Compact enough to travel with. An object that asks to be used every morning. Hand-made in Italy. Exclusive to Australia. Show more
