The legacy of craftsmanship with timeless elegance.

Plisson: Craftsmanship Excellence in the Service of Sustainability

Since 1808, Plisson has embodied the perfect union of tradition, expertise, and innovation in the world of shaving. Each shaving brush, razor, and accessory from our workshop is far more than a simple utilitarian object: it is a lifelong companion, carefully crafted to offer you enduring daily pleasure, generation after generation.

At a time when responsible consumption has become more meaningful than ever, we are proud to offer products designed to last, made from noble materials and assembled with the utmost precision by our artisans. To choose Plisson is to choose lasting luxury; a luxury that transcends trends and decades, and that embraces an environmentally respectful approach.

Behind each Plisson creation lies a powerful intention: to reduce the superfluous, to favor quality over quantity, and to allow our clients to surround themselves with beautiful, useful, repairable objects that can be passed on from one generation to the next.

Our commitment is expressed not only in the selection of exceptional materials, but also in a design philosophy that extends the life of every product, with replaceable elements and a dedicated repair workshop.

This blog is an invitation to (re)discover the unique philosophy that guides each of our creations: that of a refined shaving experience—respectful of your skin, your heritage, and our planet.

Noble and Durable Materials: The Soul of Plisson Creations

At Plisson, quality begins at the very origin of the material. For over two centuries, we have selected with absolute rigor the resources that give life to our shaving brushes, razors, and accessories.

Every wood species, every piece of natural horn, every precious metal or premium resin is chosen not only for its beauty, but also for its ability to withstand the passage of time without losing its brilliance or compromising its function.

Our shaving brushes and razors are crafted from:

Precious woods: olivewood, amaranth, thuja, Macassar ebony… These richly grained woods are hand-worked to highlight their unique character. Naturally resilient, they endure years of repeated use while developing an elegant patina.

Natural horn: each piece is unique, offering subtle variations, reflections, and curves that make your brush truly one of a kind. Horn, the ultimate noble material, combines lightness, strength, and an incomparable touch.

High-quality resins: chosen for their brilliance and durability, our technical resins provide flawless finishes, deep hues, and exceptional resistance over time.

Noble metals: solid brass, chrome, nickel, palladium… Our metals are meticulously worked to ensure not only refined aesthetics but also outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear.

Every material is shaped in our workshops with the utmost care, respecting the artisanal techniques that have made Plisson renowned worldwide.

This rigorous selection of raw materials guarantees products that are not only beautiful upon acquisition, but that remain so through the years, becoming silent witnesses of your shaving ritual.

By choosing Plisson, you are choosing an object whose value extends far beyond its appearance: you are embracing durability, transmission, and respect for an exceptional artisanal heritage.

The Joris Collection: Shaving Brushes Designed to Evolve with You

At Plisson, we are deeply committed to the idea that true luxury is lasting luxury, a luxury that does not wear out, but transforms; a luxury that accompanies a man throughout the years without ever losing its magnificence. It is in this spirit that the Joris collection was conceived: a range of shaving brushes that are elegant, functional, and responsible, designed to adapt to the passage of time while retaining their original beauty.

What makes the Joris shaving brushes unique is their ingenious design: they feature a detachable knot.

This discreet yet essential innovation allows every user to easily replace the most used part of the brush without having to part with the handle, often crafted from noble materials such as precious woods, natural horn, or brass.

Once the knot reaches the end of its lifespan, there is no need to send your brush to the workshop or entrust it to a third party: you can simply order a replacement knot directly from our website, available in several qualities, and carry out the change yourself at home in just a few simple steps.

This clever system, the fruit of our artisans’ expertise, meets a dual requirement: preserving the aesthetic and sentimental value of your shaving brush, while reducing waste by replacing only what is necessary.

Each Joris shaving brush thus becomes a faithful companion in your shaving ritual, an object to be cherished, maintained, and passed on. It reflects a more conscious way of consuming, one that values quality over quantity, and cares for the beautiful objects that surround us.

Choosing a Joris shaving brush means choosing a refined accessory designed to endure, an accessory that harmoniously combines timeless elegance, functionality, and respect for the environment. It is the choice of a responsible gesture, without ever compromising the pleasure of an exceptional shave.

The Plisson Workshop: Restoring Life to Your Accessories, Preserving What Matters

Because a beautiful object deserves to be cared for, repaired, and preserved well beyond its initial use, Plisson offers its clients a rare service, reflecting our commitment to sustainable and responsible luxury: our dedicated restoration and repair workshop. Since our beginnings, we have believed that true quality is not limited to the creation of an exceptional product; it is also measured by the ability of that object to withstand time, to recover its brilliance after life’s wear, and to continue performing with the same reliability as on its very first day.

Our workshop is the living heart of this commitment. It is here that our artisans welcome shaving brushes, razors, and accessories that have accompanied our clients for years.

Whether it is the result of natural wear, an accidental impact, or simply the traces of time, each piece is examined with care and restored with the same rigor as in its original fabrication.

Replacement of knots on older, non-detachable models, repair of damaged handles, polishing of metal parts, adjustment of mechanisms, our workshop breathes new life into your accessories, extends their story, and allows you to continue enjoying them day after day.

By offering this service, we also wish to encourage a more respectful approach to consumption.

To repair is to refuse waste. It is to choose to preserve an object filled with memories, an object that has accompanied everyday moments, rather than to replace it. It is a meaningful gesture, for both you and the planet.

Entrusting an accessory to our workshop is entrusting a part of your story to expert hands that know how to care for it. We are proud to offer our clients this continuity, this special attention that makes Plisson far more than just a shaving house: a true partner, faithful through time.

To choose Plisson is to embrace an exceptional accessory, designed to accompany you for years to come. Thanks to noble materials, modular design, and a dedicated repair workshop, each Plisson product becomes a faithful companion, capable of withstanding the passage of time.

By extending the life of your shaving brushes and razors, you participate in responsible luxury, where quality goes hand in hand with durability and respect for the environment. Plisson is more than a brand: it is a commitment to a refined and sustainable art of living.
