Frequently asked questions
Mühle is a German premium brand specializing in classic shaving products such as razors, shaving brushes, and shaving soaps. The brand has existed since 1945 and is known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Mühle is used worldwide by barbers and men who opt for a classic, comfortable shave at home.
Mühle is not a standard shaving brand that makes individual products, but a brand that develops complete shaving systems. Everything is coordinated: from razor to shaving brush and shaving soap. As a result, each step in your routine works together for a more comfortable and smooth shave.
What truly sets Mühle apart is the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern precision. The brand has existed since 1945 and has its roots in classic wet shaving, but continues to innovate with materials, shaving brushes, and blades that perform better and last longer.
In addition, Mühle is known for its high finish and durability. Products feel solid, are designed to last for years, and cause less skin irritation than many standard disposable systems.
The result is a shaving experience that doesn't feel rushed or "functional," but rather controlled, comfortable, and well-groomed, as intended with classic wet shaving.
The most well-known and popular model is the Mühle R89 safety razor. This razor is known for its mild, comfortable shave and is ideal for both beginners and experienced users. For a slightly more aggressive shave, some users choose an open comb model.
Mühle razors use individual double edge blades instead of multi-blade cartridges. This results in less irritation, more control, and a closer shave. Additionally, the blades are more affordable and more sustainable to use.
Which Mühle shaving brush is best for you depends primarily on how you want to shave. Quick and practical, or truly a moment for yourself. Mühle has various brushes, but at its core, it comes down to comfort, feel, and routine.
If you primarily want comfort and softness
Then a Mühle Silvertip Fibre shaving brush is a good choice. It feels immediately soft on the skin and effortlessly creates a rich lather. This is often the choice if you want shaving to feel pleasant and smooth, without much maintenance or hassle.
If you want the classic barbershop feel
Then a Mühle badger hair shaving brush is a better fit for you. It feels a bit firmer and more traditional, giving you that authentic classic wet shaving experience found in a barbershop. This is often the choice if you truly view shaving as a ritual.
If you're looking for something that just always works
Then a synthetic Mühle shaving brush (Black Fibre or similar) is the safest choice. It's easy to use, dries quickly, and works well with almost any shaving soap. Especially great if you don't want to think much about it and just want a good result.
If you're still in doubt, synthetic is always a good option. It's usually the most forgiving and practical choice to start with.
Silvertip Fibre is synthetic, extremely soft, and dries quickly. Badger hair feels more traditional and slightly firmer, with a slightly longer lathering time but a classic shaving experience. Both create good lather, but the choice is mainly personal.
Yes. Mühle shaving products are known for their gentle action. Especially the shaving soaps with aloe vera or sea buckthorn are developed to soothe the skin and reduce irritation during shaving.
A Mühle routine usually starts with applying shaving soap or shaving cream with a shaving brush. Then, you shave with a safety razor, using gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth. After shaving, you use an aftershave to soothe and care for the skin.
Mühle is available at selected barbershops and specialized retailers. At KAMM Barbershop, you can easily order the complete Mühle range online. All products have been selected by us based on their use in the barbershop, so you can be sure that you are choosing quality that has been tested in practice.
