Why It Made The List

This handsome safety razor reflects the depth of expertise that comes from over a century of family craftsmanship in Solingen — the German city so renowned for its blades that its name is a protected trademark. Hand-assembled by the same family now into their third generation, it features a chrome-plated brass handle and a closed-comb zinc head that provide excellent balance and control. The 80 mm length sits comfortably in the hand, making it easy and safe to use while still delivering a close, clean shave with minimal irritation. Built with purpose and precision, it’s the kind of tool that turns routine into ritual.

MORE DETAIL

A clean, modern safety razor designed to deliver the precision and balance of traditional Solingen engineering in a modern, pared-back form.

Produced by Giesen & Forsthoff — a third-generation, family-run company established in 1920 — it continues Solingen’s tradition of fine metalwork, protected by the city’s trademark that guarantees genuine local manufacture and quality.

The Pure Shaver (Model 1352) features a solid brass handle, chrome-plated for durability and a sleek, mirror finish. At 80 mm in length, it’s slightly shorter than the brand’s 1920 models, giving a compact, controlled feel in the hand.

A chrome-plated zinc alloy head provides a mild, forgiving shave — ideal for daily use or those new to double-edge razors — while maintaining the close precision associated with Solingen design.

Weighing approximately 90 g, it carries just enough heft to feel substantial without being heavy, giving the blade natural pressure and stability through each stroke.

The three-piece construction allows for easy cleaning and blade replacement, and the geometry ensures consistent alignment every time.

Supplied with one Timor double-edge blade and packaged in a protective box, it’s a minimalist, beautifully made razor that combines everyday usability with a century of German craft heritage.
