Mühle Rasurkultur

MÜHLE photographer Mirko Hertel is known for his inventive nature. When encountering difficulties in procuring specific decorative elements, he takes it upon himself to skillfully create them.

The Architecture of Shaving

Like many people in MÜHLE’s home region, the Ore Mountains, photographer Mirko Hertel is a bit of an inventor. As there were bottlenecks for orders of the decorative elements on which he wanted to arrange the products, he set to work building them himself. The result is a multi-coloured urban fantasy landscape – the Architecture of Shaving.

Special materials are used in the MÜHLE editions. The brush and razor are made of bog oak with sterling silver (left) while the set features hand-painted Meissen porcelain. Find more about the cooperation with Meissen porcelain.

The handles of the Hexagon series designed by Berlin based product designer Mark Braun are reminiscent of traditional tools. The brush and razor are made of anodised aluminium. Here you can read more about the cooperations between Mark Braun and MÜHLE-CEO Andreas Müller.

MÜHLE-Fotograf Mirko Hertel ist ein Tüftler. Gibt es Probleme bei der Bestellung gewünschter Deko-Elemente – wie zuletzt für unsere Fotoserie –, baut er diese eben kurzerhand selbst.

The Sophist series is a MÜHLE classic, paying tribute to the origins of shaving culture with archaic shapes. Models using white porcelain, black precious resin and ironwood can be seen here. The series now comes with a removable brush head, enabling easy replacement. This allows the premium handle to be reused as needed. Discover more about this new feature here.
