Werner Breidenbach - New 15/16 & 8/8 Extra Hollow Ground Solingen Straight Razors - CHOOSE YOUR RAZOR

Note: You can choose your exact razor from our current inventory. Refer to the numbered photos of the selection available.

We are pleased to offer these new straight razors, recently ground from old Solingen blanks by one of the last old generation razor grinders, Werner Breidenbach. These blades have all the hallmarks of being made by one of the Solingen masters including the thinnest of edges and a lovely ringing sound when the extra hollow blade is lightly plucked. They were scaled and honed by us at GSG and are ready to give an amazing shave.

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.
