Advice needed on Italian soaps please

jonno40 · Wednesday April 13, 2011

Good morning all

A colleague of mine is visting Genoa over Easter and I was thinking about asking him to bring me a some soaps and creams back.

Do any of you have any recommendations regarding brands that I can ask him to look out for please ?

Cheers

/Jon

Anything Proraso should be quite common.

I'm partial to 'PREP' brand shaving soap. Sold in common supermarkets, it comes in generous blue tubs, has more menthol than Proraso, and is dirt cheap...

Italian soaps are better in reverse...

I don't know what it could mean but try and get a gag out of that, I'm begging you.

Cella, P160 and Vitos are other italian soaps that could be worth looking for. I have only tried Cella and P160 and they both provide a good film for a pleasant shave.
