MÜHLE Traditional Safety Razor (No Blades Included) (Chrome - Open Comb)

Product Information

Mühle has a decent gap between head and blade which helps keep the razor free of gunk while you are shaving and also make cleaning easier when you are done shaving. The “new” Muhle R41 razor is still very aggressive. “The Beast” may be caged, though not necessarily tamed. The standard Muhle R41, the R41 Grande and the R41 twist are all made with chrome plated brass handles and chrome plated zinc alloy heads. The R41 GS is made from stainless steel which also makes this version the most durable. Aesthetes love above all the fine light reflections created by the dark material. Following a complex development process we use this challenging material for the innovative design of MÜHLE EDITION No. 1. In doing so, we work the conventional, flexible fibrous structures by hand in a special process. Those who fell in love with the upgrade loved the fact that in just two or fewer passes your facial hair achieved a clean look. They went to the extent of calling it “The Beast” and though it might have been caged, it might not be tamed, so you should take this as a warning. It shaves as close as a straight razor!
