Safety razor Hexagon

This safety razor is part of a series created in collaboration with Berlin designer Mark Braun. The straight-lined, simple design is reminiscent of the archetypal shape of tools or writing instruments. The engraved geodata of the brand location Stützengrün is a further reference to the use of classic tools in which markings were usually embossed or punched. With its slim hexagonal handle made of aluminum, the safety razor is wonderfully light and fits comfortably in the hand. The anodized surface, whose matt finish contrasts beautifully with the chrome-plated and polished elements, is also pleasant to the touch. A shaving bowl and shaving brush are also available to match the Hexagon safety razor.

The razor head with classic blade and closed comb ensures a close but gentle shave, which is also ideal for beginners. Unlike a razor with an open comb, the lather edge here has no teeth. In combination with a slightly steeper blade angle, this enables a very gentle shave, for example of the armpits or chest area. Of course, the safety razor can also be used for the finest contours and clear lines, for example at the base of the beard.

While not every craft business succeeds in balancing tradition and modernity, the Mühle shaving brush manufactory does: The still family-run company has preserved the traditional knowledge of the craft while welcoming new materials, manufacturing methods and contemporary designs. The manufactory in the Ore Mountains produces articles, 90% handmade, for wet shaving. The heart of the company is up to the present day the manufacturing of the shaving brush. The brush makers need a sure touch, a steady hand and a good eye to work with the fine badger hair. In the first step, they carefully sort the hair, weigh the fibres out to the tenth of a gram and then tap them into shape in a box. Then they take the 20,000 or so hairs with great care out of the moulding box and, without a single hair slipping out of place, tie them firmly into a tassel called loft. When they have finished the form of the loft, they glue and mount it on the handle of the shaving brush. They manufacture all brushes with extreme care, whether made of badger hair or special synthetic fibres; we offer both hair and fibres in a range of different qualities. Mühle produces the shaving brushes and razors in full at the company’s headquarters in Hundshübel. Parts are sourced as far as possible from the region.
