A as in Aufschäumen

Aufschäumen means to lather up, which is the first step for any shave. What you need: shaving brush and shaving soap or shaving cream.

B as in Barber

Already in the days of the Roman Empire, the craft of the barber was widespread. But the daily visit was not only about shaving and grooming hair, beard, and facial skin. The versed craftsmen were also always well informed.

C as in Chrome

Chromium is in high demand. Not only in the Ore Mountains, the place where MÜHLE has been producing shaving brushes and safety razors for over 70 years.

D as in Dachshaar

The animal is of special interest to connoisseurs of the fine wet shave because of its fur. The hair is delicate and elastic and produces an especially creamy and thick lather.

F as in Fibre

Fibre are synthetic polymer fibres for shaving brushes. They are coloured in such a way that they resemble natural hair deceptively real. Nevertheless, they are anything but cheap copies.

G as in Gesichtsrasur

Gesichtsrasur means facial shave. What is considered as attractive is constantly renegotiated and this is why a smooth-face phase may follow after a bearded one. Interestingly, the notion of smoothness has changed, too.

H as in hair tips

A good hairstyle and a proper shave have something in common: the quality of the tips of the hair is important. For a long time, the plucked hairs of a silver badger were considered best quality for a shaving brush. The hair of a badger is naturally tapered, which means that the tips are fine and smooth while the hairline is firmer.

I as in Initiation

Circumcision, tattooing, the ordination of priests – it is customary in different cultures worldwide to carry out the admission of the young man into the circle of adults by means of a solemn ritual. Sometimes, the first shave serves as such a rite of passage from child to man.

J as in Juchten leather

Imagine a traditional shaving scene. In your mind’s eye, you might first see the barber stroking the razor several times over a leather strap before he turns to his customer’s carefully lathered chin.

K as in Klinge

Klinge means Blade. The American travelling salesman King Camp Gillette wanted to get rich. The best way to achieve this goal, he thought, would be to invent a practical disposable product. This would guarantee demand for all eternity, he reasoned.

L for Let it Grow!

They began to sprout about 15 years ago, and ten years ago they were already omnipresent: beards, beards, and more beards. Even Hollywood stars such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt temporarily took to hiding their handsome faces behind a lavish thatch of hair.

M for Moisturizer

Unlike our ancestors, we’ve developed a pronounced need for hygiene. We smell better and look better groomed. The downside is that our many showers and, above all, daily shaves deprive the skin of a lot of moisture.

N for Natural Hair

For a long time, badger hair was thought to be the very best fibre for shaving brushes. It has a high level of resilience and flexibility and is about the only natural hair that doesn’t become matted when wet. So badger hair was the number-one choice for high-quality shaving brushes for a long time.

O as in Organic

With the name “Organic” for our in-house care series, the aim of the game is clear – keeping all products as natural as possible and ensuring that our actions are in harmony with nature.

P as in Perfume

Perfume, or “extrait de parfum” to be precise, is the queen of fragrances – compared to other scented waters, it contains the highest concentration of fragrances, i.e. that very special combination of essential oils, plant extracts, resins or their synthetic counterparts.

Q as in Quality

Quality, derived from the Latin word “qualitas” – meaning consistency, refers to the degree to which products, processes and services meet certain requirements. MÜHLE products and work processes meet high (self set) requirements.
