Question for Our Dutch Members-

I have a friend that is going to Netherlands for three months next week. Could you recommend any must try barbershops, and barber supplies stores? Maybe a couple of your favorite brew pubs too!

Depends on where he is going. I know there is a good barbershop in Haarlem and one in Rotterdam.
The best place for supplies is on the net unfortunately. There are some but again, it depends on where he will be staying.

And luckily, there are a lot of good pubs in every city

Rotterdam for sure. Also, Utrecht. But he's not bound to one place so will likely cover as much sightseeing territory as he can get in.

For the barbershop in Rotterdam check out http://www.schorembarbier.nl It's a little bit different than your classic barbershop.
For the barbershop in Haarlem check out http://janheidemanmeesterbarbier.nl It's a classic barbershop with a full wet shaving supply shop in it.

Near Utrecht lies a town called Breukelen, where this supply shop houses http://www.barbershopclassics.nl

There is also a Barber/shop in Leiden http://www.scheerwinkel.nl

when he is in Rotterdam, it's a small drive to Antwerp, Belgium, where this store can be found http://messenwinkel.eu

you need Google translate for most of the sites though

Especially this one is a must imo. I do think it is wise to give him a call before you go as his shop is not an official shop anymore. But he will be happy to welcome any visitors!

Hotel New York in Rotterdam also has a very fancy barbershop.

Make sure to get de vergulde hand shaving soap. Its a great product and very cheap here. Soon im going to post a review of it.

I can also recommend the New York Barbershop, beneath Hotel New York Rotterdam.

By the way, when using De Vergulde Hand, be sure to add water, it's a relative thirsty soap

As we have done with other customers visiting Holland, we'd be happy to send any order to the hotel you're staying or any other address you might go to.

Thanks,

Eric

Schorem is famous. Look them up on YouTube. I'd check them out if I were in Rotterdam.
