MÜHLE RYTMO Pure Badger Shaving Brush for Men with Chrome-Plated Base

I’ve had a Mühle badger brush for 25 years. It started to lose more bristles lately and thought it was a good time to upgrade. The new one has longer bristles and they are more firm which seems to work the soap in the bowl better and make a richer lather on the skin. It has more heft and that feels like quality. It does have that smell that other reviews had stated but it’s not a deal breaker. It’s not odoriferous, it doesn’t permeate but if you stick your nose in it does smell like wet dog or in this case badger. At least you’ll know it’s organic. I won’t be returning it. If the smell doesn’t dissipate after a few shaves, I’ll soak it in vinegar. If it still isn’t gone… C’est la vie. UPDATE: I’ve been using this new brush for a couple of months now and the ‘wet dog’ smell HAS dissipated and the stiffness in the bristles has softened. It’s the perfect brush now. It’s still about the heft and feel of quality. I’ll go to my grave with this one.

I saw these brushes and thought this was some sort of overkill and unnecessary. However, after looking I finally ended up buying this (Plum Wood version). I had been using a cream which came ready made for this thing, but using the brush and ending up with the best lather ever. This brush feels great. Suddenly, shaving became a pleasure. Cleaning this is super easy, I simply ran it under the sink and the brush becomes clean. Clearly a stand is necessary because this needs to be stored upside down to dry. Likes?: I absolutely ended up loving the brush with Plum wood. The brush is quite soft from the start, and I did not myself find any smell at all. The brush feels like a quality build. Dislikes?: None. Overall?: This may be the best thing I have ever bought for myself. I actually liked shaving instead of doing a daily task. Recommended.

This isn't an everyday experience for me, but once in a while I like to treat myself to some lather before I shave with my wet/dry Norelco. (Sorry blade guys, but I learned my skin can't handle that method.) I did have a cheap, discount store beaver hair brush before this that was okay, but I decided to treat myself to something better. The Mühle Vivo was WAY better and does all that it claims. It has a soft touch and does an excellent job of retaining heat, working up a fine lather quickly and distributing it evenly across my face. The fine craftsmanship, materials, and design are obvious each time I pick it up. Sure, it was a bit of an extravagance. But my face was so very happy I splurged a bit on it!

Very well-made, quality, shaving brush. My only complaint is the tips of all the bristles are a little harder than I would expect and not as soft and comfortable as my well and overused shaving brush that it replaced. Nonetheless, I use it and I think it’s attractive and well-made.

Before I had $10 "badger" brushes that either might have been fake, cheap badger, or not badger. I will never know. However for a lousy $42 I must say that this "expensive" shaving brush is well well well worth it. Beautiful to look at and hold. It is not as stiff a brush as horse or boar brushes. I have never but silvertip badger, but I think they would be too soft. This brush is the perfect combo of stiff and soft. It is stiff enough to gently exfoliate but soft and smooth enough to be a pleasure to use. It holds lather and water phenomenally. After a full thick lather shave, I can rinse off and shave two more times with new lather and comfort to spare. I have only had it one week but experienced NO hair shedding like cheaper brushes. Weight and look and handling is beautiful. Utility and function to create a great lather is outstanding. Feel on face is perfect. I am telling EVERYONE TO BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL SHAVING BRUSH. thanks for a beautiful and useful product Herr Muhle!!!!

My dad loves it thank you

Brush is ok, but handle it super top heavy and falls out of shaving crème bowl, do not recommend.

By far the softest shaving brush I have ever felt. Heavy, solid construction, blooms amazing, and lathers great!

Doux agréable surprenant

Sehr gute Qualität.

I bought this as a gift to replace the Mühle brush my husband currently uses. After trying many different brushes, this is definitely his favourite. Coarse enough to massage his skin pre shave and create a good lather but doesn’t scratch his face like some. He shaves most days, the last brush has lasted 3 years and still functional, so worth the money in terms of number of uses.

Shaving is a breeze with ladder from this brush.

Erg fijn maar laat soms haren los, in ieder geval in het begin, we gaan zien hoe lang dit aan houd. Ik zal de review updaten over een paar weken.
