• 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 - Classic razor blade - closed comb
• A noble design and mechanical precision. The MHLE safety razor with closed comb promises a thorough yet gentle shave. Unlike the safety razor with an open comb, the foam edge has no teeth. In combination with a slightly steeper blade angle, this safety razor promises a particularly gentle shaving technique, which is also suitable for beginners with a little practice. The finest contours and clear lines at the base of the beard are just the icing on the cake.
