For wet shavers, the jar is an elementary tool: only in it, with a good shaving soap or cream and a good brush, can the fine, stiff-creamy lather be produced that enables a deep, long-lasting shave that is gentle on the skin.

This shaving jar from Mühle is made from porcelain that is pleasant to the touch. Thanks to the knob, it can be held securely in the hand. Thanks to the high rim, various shaving soaps fit inside and can be easily opened. A small elevation at the bottom ensures that the soap is stored dry until the next use.

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.
