In contrast to the many technically outstanding barber shops that present themselves as hard core - with tattoos and beards - the Scheersalon van Jeroen Jansen in Bladel, near Eindhoven, presents itself as an elegant, bright men's salon in traditional simplicity. Jeroen has been cutting men's hair for 35 years in a classic, accomplished, and modern manner. In addition, he has taken a special interest in wet shaving with the forged razor. You can get a traditional shave with a real straight razor in his salon, in a tasteful ambience. This is an absolute must, as most businesses only use disposable blades for efficiency and time management. It has also become a duty for him to help others to learn the art. For this, he offers intensive and individual consulting, courses, and a wide product portfolio. Several hundred hair dressers and private customers have already learned how to use forged Boker straight razors. This passion did not arise accidentally - as apprentice, he had to shave his master every morning while he was reading the newspaper. Today, he is very grateful to his former teacher, as Jeroen has mastered stropping and the use of the razors like nobody else.
Another great passion of Jeroen and his wife, Yvonne, is Italy. Both of them noticed there that the men's selection of shaving accessories and cosmetics was many times more expansive than in the Netherlands. It seemed an obvious solution to import the items that the Dutch market was missing out on. Thus, every vacation also became a business trip and educational experience. They then founded the website "Scheersalon.nl" and their wholesale and retail store "Shavingpoint.com," in which barbers can find everything they need when it comes to wet shaving. Since the highest quality standards are a must for their international product selection, a partnership with Boker was almost predestined.
1 BOKER SCHEERSALON
With the straight razor model Scheersalon, Jeroen in cooperation with the Boker manufactory in Solingen now presents his first interpretation of a perfect straight razor. Jeroen believes the 6/8" of the blade is the optimal width for working. The Spanish head helps him create precise contours. For uncompromising sharpness, Jeroen decided on the proven silver steel. The handle material Bocote wood was based on his experience with his customers' wishes, who prefer a bit more of a rustic feel. A highlight of this special edition is the metal spacer. Delivered in a historic packaging with certificate of authenticity and individual serial number. Limited to 99 pieces worldwide.
