Rasurkultur: Tools and Rituals Event

Visit our London store on Thursday, May 16th, for an evening of brush-making and shaving demonstrations, trivia, and bubbles. Managing director Christian Müller will share his expertise on the process of making a shaving brush. The right amount of vegan Silvertip Fibre® is weighed to the very last gram, fashioned into shape, and carefully bound, ready to be attached to a meticulously crafted handle.

Brush making is a traditional craft in the German Ore Mountains where MÜHLE was established in 1945 and continues to manufacture shaving and grooming goods today. A legacy passed down from generation to generation, the painstaking craft would have previously been done with natural hair. MÜHLE continues to use these traditional methods to create its own vegan Silvertip Fibre® products.

This is followed by another live demonstration hosted by London head barber Oran Lasocki, who shares best practices on wet shaving, from prepping with a shaving brush and cream to the shave itself, and aftercare.

This non-ticketed event runs from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and is open to everyone. As the venue can host a maximum of 25 people, please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Demonstration: May 16th, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
