Ancient Meets Modern
Since ancient times, olive wood has been valued for its outstanding material characteristics and warm coloring. It is to be found throughout the Mediterranean region and has been used for centuries to make durable goods or artistic objects. The wood Muhle uses must be dried carefully for months before the handles are turned. Then surfaces are sanded, sealed with oil and polished to a silky finish. This brings out the gentle, honey-colored grain of the wood particularly well.
The high-quality synthetic fibers represent a world first of Muhle's own invention. They offer a synthetically produced premium quality whose material characteristics are analogous to those of the precious natural hair, silvertip badger. The majority of the users even say that this quality actually provides better performance characteristics than the natural hair.
'Silvertip FiberĀ®' is very soft at its fine tips, but somewhat more stable than natural hair in the middle section. These characteristics produce a pleasant, soft sensation on the skin when the lather is applied, without having to forgo the desired firmness of the hairs in the lathering process. In daily use, the manually processed Fibers are less sensitive than natural hair as they dry more quickly and are resistant to shaving soaps and creams.
The completely vegan Fibers are also somewhat easier to use than natural hair as they produce a particularly creamy and thick lather from a small amount of shaving soap or cream, which is used much more sparingly as a result.
