Why It Made The List

Giesen & Forsthoff’s 1920 Safety Razor reflects over a century of family craftsmanship in Solingen, the German city so renowned for its blades that its name is a protected trademark. Still made by the same family (now in their third generation), it’s machined from solid stainless steel with the precision only experience brings. The closed-comb head delivers an exceptionally close, clean shave while remaining easy and safe to use, even for newcomers to wet shaving. Perfectly weighted, balanced, and built to last decades, it’s a piece of quiet engineering heritage made for that most important morning ritual.

MORE DETAIL

A traditional double-edge safety razor that distils more than a century of Solingen craftsmanship into a single, enduring design.

Produced by Giesen & Forsthoff — a third-generation, family-run company established in 1920 — it embodies the heritage and precision behind the protected Solingen trademark, reserved only for genuine blades made within the city’s borders to strict quality standards.

The Timor 1920 (Model 1350) features a solid stainless-steel handle measuring 100 mm in length, paired with a chrome-plated zinc head that delivers a smooth, medium-mild shave suited to everyday use.

The smooth cylindrical handle tapers subtly toward the base, sitting naturally in hand, and carries a reassuring weight that speaks to its solid construction and high-grade materials.

Its three-piece design makes cleaning and blade replacement simple, while the machining tolerances hold the blade perfectly aligned for precise, consistent results.

Supplied with ten Timor double-edge blades and presented in a protective box, it’s a razor that feels considered in every detail — substantial, balanced, and made to last for decades of steady use.

A confident piece of Solingen engineering — quietly elegant, dependable, and unmistakably built to endure.
