Smooth Boys: The Art of Shaving

Every man who is lucky enough to reach a ripe old age will shave an average of 2300 hours in his life. That counts. In a society where everything has to go faster and faster, shaving in a hurry has become a habit for many. But guess what? Dissatisfied with this hellish rhythm, more and more men are returning to the classic wet shave with an open razor. The open razor is being produced in abundance again, 'scrapers' are hot and a shaving brush easily costs 150 euros. In every major city there is a shop where you can go for the latest shaving accessories and supplies.
The beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated Gladde Jongens is about attention to and careful handling of solid materials. About the loving look for that wonderful shaving brush made of pure badger hair. About the charm and the smell of good shaving soap. About the enthusiasm of a growing army of 'wet shavers' for an age-old human act: shaving.
