Revitalised hair and a flawless shave: two ABC bestsellers for you

The attention to hair and shaving represents two of the most important aspects of daily male grooming. The chance to show off always healthy, voluminous hair and smooth, irritation-free skin certainly makes a difference in one’s appearance to others. For this reason, Antica Barbieria Colla has decided to offer its loyal clients an exciting initiative on two true bestsellers:

  • from 1st to 15th November, by purchasing the Capsicum and Menthol Lotion or Apricot Hull Aftershave, customers can enjoy a 15% discount on the price.

A unique opportunity to enhance daily routines involving hair and shaving or to become familiar with two of ABC’s most popular products.

Capsicum and Menthol Lotion: always strong and revitalised hair

Capsicum and Menthol Lotion

There are many reasons why hair may appear lacklustre, lacking vitality and shine: daily stress, exposure to the elements, and the use of overly harsh cleansing products. However, with Antica Barbieria Colla’s Capsicum and Menthol Lotion, it is possible to revitalise hair, strengthening it with the combined action of two traditional ingredients.

Born from an idea of Franco Bompieri during a trip to Sicily, the Capsicum and Menthol Lotion blends the regenerative power of capsicum with the refreshing effect of menthol, stimulating scalp circulation. This not only promotes the growth of stronger, healthier, and shinier hair but also helps to encourage regrowth when hair is weakened and fragile.

By taking advantage of Antica Barbieria Colla’s offer, you can purchase the Capsicum and Menthol Lotion with a 15% discount.

Apricot Hull Aftershave: a smooth shave

Apricot Kernel Aftershave

The act of shaving can put facial skin under stress, due to the mechanical action of the razor. Because of this, the skin can often become red and irritated after shaving. The Apricot Hull Aftershave helps prevent these uncomfortable outcomes, leaving the skin nourished, soft, and protected.

The credit goes to the product’s vitamins and fatty acids, with a formula suitable for the most sensitive skin.

Similarly, by taking advantage of ABC’s offer, you can purchase the Apricot Hull Aftershave with a 15% discount.

And that’s not all: by signing up for Antica Barbieria Colla’s newsletter, you can stay updated on all product news, including any related promotions.

Shaving soap: how to use it

Shaving soap is an invaluable ally of all those who wish to achieve a gentle shave, greatly limiting the risk of causing cuts and irritation. Its function is to generate enough lather to facilitate the passage of the blade, leaving the skin perfectly smooth.

Although shaving soap is less common today than practical lather, the benefits that derive from its use are considerable, especially in terms of well-being and hydration. The soap, in-fact, is able to transform shaving into a pleasant and relaxing routine, mitigating the aggressive action of the razor and preventing redness thanks to the combined action of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that boast a gentle emollient effect.

Shaving steps with shaving soap

Shaving soap creates the ideal conditions for shaving, respecting the characteristics of the most sensitive skin. In order to use it, it is necessary to have a special shaving brush, which must be inumidated thoroughly in warm water. Here is the procedure in detail:

  • fill a bowl with warm water and let the brush soak for a few minutes to soften the bristles;
  • wring out the brush to remove excess water, leaving the bristles damp but not dripping;
  • rub the brush over the soap in fine circular motions and apply the lather to the face, making continuous circular motions until it forms a white, thick, creamy mousse;
  • proceed with shaving.

Alternatively, it is also possible to use a shaving bowl in which to lay a large enough flake of soap, dipping the wet brush into it.

Shaving soap also in cream form

Sapone da barba in crema

Antica Barbieria Colla has also created a convenient cream solution for those who want to take advantage of the practicality of a ready-made product, and, of course, of the highest quality. The Almond Oil Shaving Cream, prepared according to the original 1945 recipe, protects and softens the skin thanks to the action of unsaturated and polyunsaturated acids, creating the perfect conditions for shaving. Moreover, it reduces redness due to its soothing effect.

Artisanal shaving soap: why should you prefer and use it

A fundamental ingredient of traditional shaving, shaving soap plays a crucial role in achieving an optimal result and preparing the skin for the passage of the blade.

An artisanal shaving soap, in particular, is made by hand following ancient recipes that call for the use of components that are predominantly of natural origin, while leaving aside chemical components that can prove aggressive to the epidermis.

When it comes to choosing a shaving soap, in fact, preferring artisanal variants always proves to be the most effective choice to rely on a delicate formulation free of potentially irritating elements, especially if you rely on recipes created ad hoc by experts in the field.

Artisanal shaving soap: features and benefits

Why is it worth opting for an artisanal shaving soap? Compared to mass-market products, this type of soap helps to soften the skin in a gentle way by moisturizing and creating a real protective barrier, which can facilitate the passage of the razor blade by zeroing the risk of irritation and redness.

Artisanal soap also ensures a delicate fragrance thanks to the presence of essential oils.

How to use shaving soap

Saponette Antica Barbieria Colla

Shaving soap comes in a few variations, to be chosen according to individual shaving preferences:

  • the shaving soap, which has a solid consistency and on which you can rub the brush in order to generate a lather to be applied to the face before shaving;
  • the cream soap, easier to use always making use of the shaving brush previously moistened.

The next step is always the passage of the razor, which will glide over the face smoothly and gently.

Which homemade shaving soap to buy

Among the shaving products created ad hoc by Antica Barbieria Colla, you cannot miss the artisanal shaving soap, available in two different formulations:

  • the Almond Oil Hard Shaving Soap, enriched with almond oil, which with its high content of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats moisturizes and has an emollient effect on the skin, softening beard hair and creating the right conditions for shaving even in the case of the most sensitive skin;
  • the Almond Oil Shaving Cream, still prepared according to the traditional recipe from 1945, again taking advantage of all the beneficial properties of almond oil.

New edition, same quality

Crema Pre-Barba Blog

A small update for all Antica Barbieria Colla customers: the Almond Oil&Aloe Pre-Shave Cream has a fresh new look. The beloved ABC product now comes with a completely revamped packaging made of high-quality cardboard.

New design, but the same high quality: the ideal solution for moisturizing the skin before shaving and preventing irritation, thanks to the emollient and protective properties of almond oil and aloe.

Aftershave: why should you choose milk and how to use it

The application of an aftershave milk is an essential step to be taken after shaving, a phase that is of considerable importance in order to moisturize and flush the skin optimally.

In fact, just a few drops of aftershave milk are enough to prevent irritation caused by the passage of the blade, but also to counteract possible redness.

Choosing the right aftershave, however, may not be easy, especially if the goal is to tailor a specific product to individual needs.

How to choose the aftershave: all the types

There are aftershaves available on the market characterized by various formulations:

  • aftershave lotion, with a very liquid consistency and usually astringent effect, generally suitable for oily skin;
  • aftershave gel, easy to absorb with a cooling and soothing effect;
  • aftershave milk, perfect for providing hydration and preventing redness that can occur after shaving, easy to apply due to its light, non-oily consistency.

The choice of aftershave, moreover, is also based on its particular fragrance. Products based on natural extracts, for example, boast a delicate but persistent essence that makes the application of the product even more pleasant.

Aftershave milk: benefits and products

Latte Dopobarba Tabacco Verde

Focusing on aftershave milk, what is most appreciated by those who choose to use it is certainly the formulation that is halfway between liquid and creamy, ideal for those looking for a light product that can be applied quickly and makes the skin soft and silky, all year round.

The aftershave milk also helps to flush out even the most delicate and dry skin, giving a long-lasting feeling of well-being.

Antica Barbieria Colla offers different aftershave milks designed to meet different needs and preferences, products with different fragrances that have a common denominator: the artisanal formula, based on an ancient tradition:

  • Almond Oil Aftershave Milk: thanks to the presence of almond oil, it gives softness and hydration, reducing irritation and tightening pores at the same time;
  • Green Tobacco Aftershave Milk: in addition to calming, moisturizing and refreshing the skin, the product contains tobacco essence, extracted from the fermented leaves of the plant, which generates a feeling of warmth and well-being, giving strength and energy;
  • Red Sandalwood Aftershave Milk: The light, silky texture is complemented by the woody, exotic aroma extracted from red sandalwood, often used in aromatherapy to harmonize the senses.

Traditional and Italian shaving: how it works and differences

Regardless of the technique used, whether traditional shaving or Italian shaving, the moment dedicated to beard and facial care should always be characterized by relaxation and well-being, choosing the most suitable products to meet individual needs.

In fact, shaving should never be done in a hasty and sloppy manner, both to ensure maximum safety and to benefit from all the advantages that can come from an ad hoc treatment, especially if performed by experienced hands.

Focusing on the different shaving techniques, the traditional and Italian shaving variants always guarantee optimal results, however they differ in some specific aspects.

Traditional shaving: how it works

Rasatura in ABC

Traditional shaving has very ancient origins and is basically based on the use of water, shaving foam or soap and brush, razor and aftershave.

The tool used for shaving, in particular, can be the safety razor or the straight razor: the former is specially designed to protect the skin from possible cuts by creating a minimum distance between the blade and the epidermis, while the latter requires considerable skill and handling.

Italian shaving: steps and products

Rasatura in ABC

Italian-style shaving, practiced at the Antica Barbieria Colla workshop since 1904, is a longer and more elaborate treatment aimed at generating numerous benefits. This technique consists of several phases:

  • massage with pre-shave cream;
  • application of a warm cloth to facilitate the opening of the pores;
  • application of shaving soap with a special brush, making circular movements;
  • shaving;
  • soothing massage with aftershave and placement of a warm cloth on the face, followed by the final massage with aftershave milk.

How to achieve a perfect shave

How to achieve a perfect shave even at home without giving up the benefits of a dedicated treatment? To meet this request, Antica Barbieria Colla makes available in the store and on the online shop all the products used in the store, including:

  • the Almond Oil & Aloe Pre-Shave Cream, for example, is specially designed to massage the face before shaving, preventing skin irritation and defending the skin from the aggression of the razor;
  • the Almond Oil Shaving Cream, thanks to its high content of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, helps soften the skin, facilitating the subsequent shave;
  • the Apricot Hull Aftershave is rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, an ideal mix to soothe, tone and refresh the face after shaving;
  • finally, the Almond Oil Aftershave Milk reduces irritation and tightens pores after a close shave, refreshing the skin for a long time.

Hyaluronic acid: benefits for men’s skin

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found in skin tissue that is necessary to preserve the elasticity and hydration of the epidermis. Although this substance is produced by the body throughout life, with advancing age the concentration of hyaluronic acid tends to gradually decrease causing the appearance of wrinkles and loss of firmness.

Fortunately, to remedy the physiological decline in hyaluronic acid production, it is possible to use skincare products created specifically to supplement this valuable element, ensuring optimal hydration for the skin.

All the benefits of hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid proves to be a valuable ally for taking care of the skin of the face and body on a daily basis.

Men’s skin, in particular, is prone to dehydration caused not only by age-related changes but also by the action of external agents, such as sun, wind, low temperatures, and pollution, which compromise the natural softness and smoothness of the epidermis.

The benefits of hyaluronic acid also occur during the delicate shaving phase, helping to prevent possible redness and to regenerate facial skin optimally.

Hyaluronic acid, in particular, boasts specific properties:

  • retains water molecules in the epidermis, keeping it soft and supple;
  • restores the water balance in the more superficial layers of the skin;
  • stimulates the production of collagen, a protein capable of ensuring skin firmness and turgor;
  • counteracts skin aging, filling in wrinkles and minimizing signs of aging;
  • soothes irritation caused by shaving, toning and granting a pleasant feeling of relief.

Hyaluronic acid on men’s skin: products and tips

Crema Viso Acido Ialuronico e Caffeina, blog

To make up for the loss of hyaluronic acid and ensure maximum hydration of the skin, it is very useful to set up skincare based on the supplementation of this specific component.

Aware of the benefits generated by hyaluronic acid, Antica Barbieria Colla has included this precious ingredient in the formula of some products designed for male skin care:

  • Hyaluronic Acid&Caffeine Face Cream, is based on the perfect combination of the two substances that act synergistically to moisturize, dispense volume, delay the formation of new wrinkles and tone for a long time;
  • Enlightening Aftershave Gel, boasts the presence of Aloe, Apple extract, Caffeine and Witch Hazel extracts that prevent the appearance of redness and irritation. Created in a limited edition in collaboration with Scintilla, the gel makes the most of the virtues of hyaluronic acid to deeply moisturize giving skin that is always glowing and even.

Enlightening Aftershave Gel: the new limited edition by Antica Barbieria Colla

To inaugurate this 2023 in a sparkling manner, Antica Barbieria Colla launches the first product of its Shining Men Beauty Collection. It’s an absolute novelty, designed for all those who want to achieve a perfect shave by completing their beauty routine with an exclusive product: the Enlightening Aftershave Gel.

This Antica Barbieria Colla novelty was presented for the first time during the Sparkling Night event: an evening organised last 14 December by the commercial realities of Via Morone, in Milan, to celebrate Italian craftsmanship in all its forms.

Enlightening Aftershave Gel: softness and an extra shine effect

Gel Dopobarba Illuminante

Created by Francesca Bompieri, owner of Antica Barbieria Colla, the Enlightening Aftershave Gel is characterised by an extra shine effect suitable for all skin types. Based on a formula that harnesses the benefits of aloe, apple extract, caffeine and witch hazel extracts, the Elinghtening Aftershave Gel has a very fresh consistency, ensures rapid absorption and offers daily benefits:

  • prevents redness and irritation caused by the razor, thanks to the presence of hyaluronic acid, which deeply moisturises the epidermis;
  • its silky texture helps to brighten the face and make it even, while also giving a pleasant sensation of freshness.

Responding effectively to the demand for hand-crafted products that combine the usual moisturising and emollient properties with an illuminating action, the Enlinghtening Aftershave Gel is a real must-have that transforms shaving into a complete beauty treatment.

For excellent results, it is also possible to precede the shave with a pleasant facial massage using our Almond Oil & Aloe Pre-Shave Cream, then continuing with the application of Almond Oil Shaving Cream to limit the aggressive action of the razor.

The new Enlightening Aftershave Gel is available, while stocks last, from 4 January on the official online shop of Antica Barbieria Colla and, again, at the shop in via Morone. It will also be possible, on request, to try the treatment in the barbershop.

Sparkling Night: Made in Italy craftsmanship on stage

Antica Barbieria Colla, Natale

To celebrate the launch of the new Enlightening Aftershave Gel and the successes of the “Sparkling” collection, the architect and interior designer Sonja Vizzini – together with the shopkeepers of Via Morone – promoted the Sparkling Night event, staging a private dèfilé that featured:

  • the new Vizzini collection of screens covered in crystal and silk fabric
  • Daniela De Souza Couture‘s sparkling custom-made evening gowns made entirely by hand from the highest quality fabrics;
  • the precious jewellery handmade by skilled craftsmen in the Ghezzi workshop, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year;
  • the red pret-à-pôrter by Valeria Ferlini.

For the occasion, the Englightening Aftershave Gel was presented in a precious packaging enriched with “Scintilla” details, the world’s first collection of furniture covered entirely in Swarovski crystals, designed by Sonja Vizzini herself.
