HEXAGON

Precision tools, flawless design: The new HEXAGON series… Mühle collaborated with famous Berlin designer Mark Braun for the new Hexagon series. Result? The best shaving products that are expertly proportioned - but not at all classic.

You ask why? Because the hexagonal profile of each of the products is combined with traditional and completely practical elements to provide a contemporary and ergonomic design, good grip and functionality. This is a design approach that Mark Braun has already won numerous awards.

Brand new but still familiar: Even the matte finish of the grip is like a new plain engraving (just like the Myriad Pro font). Of course, these products go through Mühle like the others: the razor blade has the same head as the classic R89. An additional detail that completes the collection is a work that Mühle excels at: chrome plating.

There could be no more modern or earthy color choice than graphite, forest green and bronze. These fine earth tones are also a little reference to Erzgebirge, one of the rugged lands between Saxony and Bohemia, where shaving culture belongs.

The Hexagon shaving set received the Red Dot Design Award, the German Design Award, the manufacturing product of the year award in 2017 with the design of Mark Braun!

Silvertip badger

The finest natural hair for handcrafted shaving brushes. Its special features are the shimmering silver colour and a black band running though the hair. It is used to make durable, high-quality unique pieces - and products that make the wet shave the best time-out imaginable. The fine, conically tapering hairs possess the ability to retain a large amount of water and produce a dense, creamy lather. 

How to Use a Traditional Shaving Set?

Prepare shaving foam: Prepare shaving foam with warm water, a shaving brush and shaving cream or shaving soap. Wet your shaving brush with warm water and create a foam by whisking it in circular motions on the soap / cream in the bowl without shaking the brush. To make the shaving foam thicker and thicker, you can adjust the consistency of the foam by dropping a few drops of water on your brush.

Prepare your skin for the shave: Always shave during or after a hot shower for a flawless traditional wet shave. Apply foam to your skin to soften your skin and prepare your beards for shaving. The application of shaving foam with a shaving brush helps to remove the dead layer on the skin, while removing the beard and preparing it for a comfortable shave. Also, if possible, leaving the foam on your skin for at least 1-2 minutes will allow the beards to soften more and shave easier.

Step 1: Moisten the beard area, preferably with warm water, and lather it thoroughly with a brush. If possible, use a highly effective moisturising shaving cream or soap. This will allow the blade to slide over the skin more easily.  Make sure that the razor head and handle are firmly attached to each other, but only tighten the screw to the extent that it can be unscrewed without much effort.

Step 2: Now begin with the shave. Hold the safety razor at an obtuse angle (approx. 30°) to the skin. Start with the cheeks and allow the razor to slide over the skin, applying gentle pressure.  Always shave in the direction of the beard growth (with the grain).

Step 3: When shaving the neck, stretch the skin tight with your free hand. Do not be discouraged by small cuts or grazes. Once you have familiarised yourself with the razor, they will rarely occur.  For practised shavers: by slightly loosening the handle (approx. ½ a revolution) the angle of the blade is increased. This enables you to shave very cleanly in contours.  Always tighten the handle before continuing with the rest of the shave. We recommend our rust-proof MÜHLE razor blades which are the perfect match for our safety razors.

Rinse - moisturize: Rinse your skin with cold water after shaving, moisturize, nourish and refresh with an aftershave balm or aftershave.

Mühle razors are compatible with double-edge blades of all brands. We recommend our razor blades that work in perfect harmony with our traditional razors.
