Giesen & Forsthoff

Giesen & Forsthoff have been making shaving knives for over a hundred years and it shows.
The shaving knives are elegant and the attention to detail is obvious.

The knife is produced from coal steel which creates a sharper edge. This quality demands a bit more care, and to avoid rust stains it is important to dry the blade after each shave and keep the knife in a dry place. If you follow these care instructions, you will have a shaving knife that will last many years.

The concept "shave ready" means that the razor is ready to be used when it is delivered, and
the blade doesn't need to be stropped before use. The difference between a regular razor and a
shaving knife is so significant that we dare to say that once you start to use this razor knife, you
will never shave in another way again.
