3 Since 1920, all you need for a great shaving experience. 100 years Giesen & Forsthoff.

A few months ago we stumbled over our 50th anniversary publication from 1970. It was published just half a year after the moon landing and even before major events like the Olympic Games in 1972 and the football world cup 1974 in . The publication brings back nice memories and is indeed a historical document for our Solingen-based family business. Back then, led in the 2nd generation, we were able to make our mark as a manufacturer of fine shaving and manicure products. This success was always based on consistency, quality and cohesion. Back then, I was accompanying my father and followed him into management. Today, 50 years later, it is my daughter leading the Giesen & Forsthoff together with myself into the future. Our credo now and then has always been the combination of traditional designs with highest quality materials.

Even more important today - any of our handmade or hand selected products needs to match strict rules regarding quality, feel and looks. Our traditional, handmade is probably the best example for our passion, which also secures our position in the niche of traditional wet shaving.

We are now happy to present to you our full catalog 2020/2021. As usual, you can look forward to new combinations of stainless , selected woods and precious horn. But we do not only offer new colours and variations. In addition to our women‘s shaving line ZÓE, we also offer a full range for men under the label 1920, in homage to our 100th anniversary, a complete series that leaves nothing to be desired. The Gentle Shaver is an interesting unisex shave product with entry-level prices for your customers.

4 Do you already know our new shaving and beard care series? All G&F care products are produced in the best organic quality and are 100% vegan. For us as a medium-sized manufacturer, the topic of sustainability and environmental protection is also more than important. Our products are not only popular in the zero waste segment, but we also want to take the next steps ourselves, e.g. regarding our packaging, and try to avoid plastic where possible. Almost 70% of our packaging is already plastic-free. We are particularly happy that for the first time in our history we can offer you an alternative to leather on manicure sets. Discover with us 100% vegan cork material, which will surely convince you with its look and feel.

By the way, there will be a special collector‘s edition of our handmade razor for the anniversary. The handles are made from an old beer barrel, of course also 100 years old. We will inform you separately in the anniversary year.

Enough words. We hope that you will browse through our catalog with the same pleasure as we do.

4th and 3rd generation, Katharina and Peter Giesen

The blade is easy and safe to use.

Open the blade‘s wrapping paper so that you have free access to the blade. Now unscrew the shaving head, holding onto both short ends. Place the razor blade on the top plate with the thread. Now place the shaving plate on it and screw the razor shaving back onto the handle. Please always hold on both short ends so that you do not come into contact with the sharp edge. Now you can start shaving. Ideally, you put the razor on the skin at an angle of 30 degrees, so you get the best results and protect your skin.
