How Do You Use It?

1. Hang your strop on a hook with the leather side up and pull it towards you.
2. Lay the blade flat on the strop so that the cutting edge and the back both make contact. When using the strop, always move the razor towards the back of the blade, NOT towards the cutting edge.
3. Pull the blade gently towards you. The blade should stand at approx. 30-40 degrees to the strop. Do not use too much pressure, and when you reach the end of the belt, roll the blade over the back of the razor and push it back towards the hook.
4. Remember to keep the blade flat on the strop, this sharpens the other side of the blade. Repeat this 4-5 times, and your razor should be ready for work again.

Mühle was started by Otto Johannes Müller in Germany in 1945 as a small manufacturer of shaving brushes. They were created exclusively by hand out of a laundry room but quickly grew to acquire international customers within the first four years. The brand now comprises a full range of high-quality, wet shaving products and celebrates two stores in Germany and one in London.
