Muhle: razors and other men's products
Muhle razors and other Muhle products to shave your beard are a staple nowadays in the world of wet-shaving. This company has been founded by Otto Johannes Müller in 1945, just after the Second World War. Their iconic logo is also from that era.
As many other companies he did not have a warehouse from the start. He worked from a laundromat and manufactured his first shaving brushes there. The company grew quickly and in 1949 hey already started exporting his first shaving brushes. In 1965 the company had partners in 36 countries.
Their success did not stay unnoticed and the Communist government in East-Germany, where the company was located, nationalized the company in 1972. The son of founder, Hans-Jürgen Müller, was the head of the company and against the nationalization. In 1987 the company produced shaving brushes for the GDR and Hans-Jürgen decided to leave the company and continue as a freelancer.
Luckily he could regain control of the company in 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The transition to the free market was difficult for the company, but they survived and continued to grow in the company they are nowadays. In the early 2000s the company started to make a name for themselves in the world of wet-shaving [1].

Craftsmanship is very important for Mühle and many products are still mostly handmade. They try to make their products by hand as much as possible and machines only play a small part in the entire process [2].
These machines have been designed specifically for Mühle and not to just mass produce products and print a random logo on them. No, these are only for Mühle.
Mühle Razors
Besides the shaving brushes, that started everything, Mühle also produces high quality razors. Of course it is important that the safety razor is sharp and shaves well, but Mühle also thinks it is very important that their products are very ergonomic and pleasant to hold.[3] And of course the products need to look nice, so that is why thave have a great finish.
