The Material - ancient oak and sterling silver
Brand new in the series and also supremely elegant: EDITION No. 3. These products are completely new – and yet they tell of a long distant past: They are made of the finest ancient oak, an oak wood which rested airtight in swamps or on river banks for millennia, thereby acquiring a beautiful dark hue. The wood is refined with sterling silver so that the fine indentations on its surface acquire a silvery gleam. Finally, the surface of these products is sealed in a high gloss finish – the brush and razor are now not only beautiful but also waterproof.

The Brushed - Silvertip badger
Among connoisseurs, silvertip badger is regarded as the pièce de résistance: Only the best, carefully selected badger hair is used for these purely handcrafted shaving brushes. The precious natural material is particularly soft and flexible.

The fine, conically tapering hairs possess the ability to retain a large amount of water and produce a dense, creamy lather. Another sign of quality is the even black band running horizontally through the predominantly silvery gleaming hair.

This premium product is manufactured using historical tools in an artisan procedure mastered by only a few specialists worldwide. The semi-circular shape of the brush head is created by hand when binding the brush. The fine tips, therefore, do not require trimming and the natural softness of the hair is retained.

The Razor head - Classic razor blade
For generations, the safety razor has been regarded as a stylish classic which can even shave edges with precision. For many, it is razor par excellence. Its styling is ideally suited to the design of the MÜHLE products.

Even if the open blade does demand a little respect at first: After a brief familiarisation period, and guided by a steady hand, it produces a very close shave and a lasting result. Unlike modern blade systems, the head of the safety razor does not move. The blades are replaced by unscrewing the cap.
