Werner Breidenbach - New 5/8-7/8 Solingen Straight Razors - CHOOSE YOUR RAZOR

 Note: You can choose your exact razor from our current inventory by selecting the desired razor by its letter.

In 1948 Werner Breidenbach began his apprenticeship at Paul Drees company in Solingen, Germany. He was to remain loyal to this company as straight razor grinder and later also as owner for more than 55 years. Mr. Breidenbach then made razors on his own and for other companies towards the end of his career. Today, at over 90 years of age, he is one of the last true straight razor grinders in Solingen, who has practiced his whole life and perfected this craft.
Each razor shown here is a special edition that the master hand made himself and was made entirely by hand in the finest Solingen hollow grinding tradition. With good care and treatment, each razor will not only give you a lot of pleasure but can also be passed down and used over generations and thus remain a testament to the finest Solingen craftsmanship.
