Muhle RH9 Shaving Brush Holder

Muhle RH9 Shaving Brush Holder

Shaving brush holder  (HJM) - ivory.

The holder is compatible with Shaving Brushes with knot from 18mm to 22mm.

A shaving brush should be allowed to dry with its bristles downward after use. Doing this prevents both water from collecting in the handle, something that can cause bristle deformation. Good quality for a nice price.

Shortly after returning from war captivity in 1945, Otto Johannes Muller possessed the optimism to found a small business. Things were difficult to begin with. The company founder had almost no funds, premises or material.

In a wash kitchen, bristles were boiled, animal hair processed and, besides brushes, essential items such as lights were produced as these
were needed in every household due to the constant power cuts. The first  products still left Stόtzengrόn on horse-drawn carts.

To this day, a logo in the form of a mill (Muhle) what else adorns each product.

 In 1970, the company moved into a new production and administration building at the previous location. At this  time, the main customers were state trading companies in the GDR and its "socialist sister countries" Private businesses were a thorn in the flesh of the GDR leadership. 

Under pressure from the state, the owners were forced to sell their businesses for a low price. On 17 April 1972, O. J. Muller KG became a Publicly Owned Operation (VEB). In the time that followed, more and more  individual businesses were merged to form larger units.
