Red Pomade, Reuzel

The Reuzel story begins in the heart of Rotterdam, at the renowned Schorem Haarsnijder en Barbier, the place where traditional barbering got a contemporary identity. Founders Leen Bokhorst and Bertus Janssen spent years building their reputation doing nothing but classic men's cuts, relying on old-school techniques and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

They weren't willing to settle for what was available — so they decided to make something of their own. Not something trendy, but something that works in a real barbershop, day in and day out. That's how Reuzel was born, a name that means “lard” in Dutch, a tribute to the old-school pomades used by generations before them.

The first products weren't created in a lab far removed from reality, but right in the barbershop, tested on hundreds of clients. The focus was simple: reliable hold, easy application, and results that last. That philosophy gave rise to the legendary pomades that quickly became the standard among barbers worldwide.

Today, Reuzel offers much more than pomades, with a complete range of products for styling and for hair, beard, and skin care. Still, the core of the brand remains the same: authentic barbering, no compromises, and no chasing passing trends.

Reuzel is the difference between a product that's “okay” and one that truly gets the job done. Reuzel is an attitude and a culture.
