Classic razors, where you choose the blade, are a revolution created in wet shaving and are one of today's most classic shaving accessories. But with Mühle, there's more: ergonomics designed for passionate wet shavers, perfect maneuverability with an optimized center of balance, and of course, exquisite craftsmanship…
After a little practice, no one who has mastered the ritual can continue their life without a classic razor! Standardized safety razor blades, which have been around for decades, are now much more readily available than before.
Our models come with high-quality chrome plating. They are combined with elegant and high-quality resin in classic metallic, black, or brown colors. An exclusive option is a rose gold-plated handle.
The brushes in the shaving sets are made with badger or Silvertip Fibre bristles and are presented as a complete set with a shaving set stand. The shaving brush heads are interchangeable. You can purchase a spare brush head whenever you wish to use your brush with a different bristle type or to renew it.

Use and Tips
- In traditional shaving, preparation is important. For shaving preparation, the skin and beard should be softened, and this process should only be done with lather obtained from cream or soap.
- The skin should be softened with the whipped cream-like shaving lather, preferably (ideally) with the help of a shaving brush. Moving the lather around your face with a shaving brush for about 1 minute is sufficient to soften and stimulate the beard.
- Open the head of your razor. Hold the blade by its short edge, place it inside the razor, and close it.
- If your razor is a 3-piece, it will open by twisting its head; if it's a 2-piece, it will open by twisting the mechanism on the handle.
- Then, start shaving. Razors with closed combs only touch the skin at a 30-45 degree angle. They cannot make direct contact with the skin. They shorten the beard by cutting it, which is why you need to do a layered shave. It's important to shave according to the direction of beard growth.
- For the first pass, shave in the same direction as your beard growth. While this direction is from top to bottom on the cheek, it may vary on the neck. The direction of beard growth is different for every man and cannot be changed by the cutting direction.
- Do not press. Classic razors shave with their own weight. Gently hold the razor by its handle and do not press it against your skin. Allow it to glide with the lather and blade. For those new to traditional shaving, our primary goal is to achieve an irritation-free shave, not necessarily a perfectly clean one. As you get used to it (approximately 8-10 shaves), clean shaves will naturally follow. Do not go over the same area multiple times.
- After the first pass, apply lather to your face again with a brush or your hand. For the second pass, shave in the same direction or diagonally for a closer shave (e.g., from ear to cheek, or cheek to ear).
- The skin perceives each blade contact as an impact. After shaving, it's important to soothe this impact. Aftershave products contain highly soothing ingredients. If you have problems like dryness, itching, or redness, use a balm. If you don't experience such discomforts, you can use a lotion for a lighter effect. Using both is also common; you can apply lotion first, then balm.
- We recommend not shaving against the grain until you are fully accustomed to the razor. This can lead to undesirable situations such as irritation or ingrown hairs.
- Mühle classic razors have chrome-plated heads made of metal. Applying excessive force to metal parts can cause screw deformation, so please avoid this. Oiling the metal parts a few times a year with metal oil will add value to the lifespan of your razor.
- After shaving, remove the blade from the razor, dry it, and store it in its paper. Mühle razors are made from stainless zamak alloy. However, we do not recommend prolonged contact of the surface with a rusty blade.
- While the average number of uses for razor blades is 4-5, this depends directly on the razor used, frequency of shaving, blade brand, and skin type. Therefore, each person's usage count is unique. Replace the blade as soon as you feel it pulling rather than cutting your beard. Do not shave with a dull blade, as it will cause irritation.
