• Cultivated, cosmopolitan and sophisticated in the best sense of the word: SOPHISTicated is MHLE’s design classic. This classic, archetypal form is our personal tribute to the origins of shaving culture. Precious materials complete its elegant appearance, which, thanks to its design, is at once timeless and contemporary. Each handcrafted model bears the manufactory’s engraved logo on the chromed base. SOPHIST also stands out with its extra-large brush head. The best shaving brushes Silvertip Fibre and silvertip badger are the icing on the cake of this mature product with character.
• The Material - Genuine Horn
• Genuine horn has been used to make useful or decorative objects since ancient times. The natural material must be selected and processed with great care: Only solid horn tips are used for the handles of shaving brushes and razors. If the hand-picked tips are sufficiently thick, they are formed meticulously by a turner. Then they are very finely ground several times and finally polished to a high-gloss finish. The gentle light to dark colouring makes the surface of the horn appear very warm. The graining of the work pieces shimmers from white to brown and dark brown, lending each product its own individual character.
• The Brushhead - Silvertip Badger
• A tried and trusted classic and the undisputed leader of the natural hair range: silvertip badger is particularly soft and flexible and is exclusively handmade at MHLE. Its silver sheen and a black band around each individual hair, which connoisseurs call a mirror, are noble distinguishing features. Its fine, conically shaped hair absorbs a lot of water and guarantees a dense, creamy lather.
• The Razorhead - Gillette Fusion
• Gentle, safe and reliable: the five superimposed blades of Gillette Fusion enable a careful and thorough shave that is also gentle on the skin. A precision edging blade ensures precise contours, while comfort lubrication strips guarantee an even smoother result. Thanks to its simple and safe handling, this system is ideal for newcomers and is available from retailers everywhere. All MHLE shavers in this system are also compatible with SkinGuard, Gillette’s latest product development.
• As a Gillette Trusted Partner, MHLE only uses Gillette Genuine Parts.
