About Us

We stand here from the far 1915. When Evangelos Porichis was the first to start the Porichis store in central Athens and from the first

professionals in this field.

Subsequently, his son Spiros Porichis was succeeded by his son who for many years devoted himself to the art of grinding and collaborating with the best barbers

of the time, making the name Porichis known as a specialist in the shaving razor grinding. The store was housed for 65 years (1943-2008) at the corner of Lykourgou & Klisthenous Strs where Nikos Porichis, Spiros' nephew, also started, who, along with his brother, were the first to manufacture scissors in Greece at a factory in Euboea under the brand name EVEM.

Nikos is still carrying on his family business with his son,Simos, in downtown Athens.So we are on the fourth generation. With responsibility, honesty and seriousness, all these years, we offer the best possible to every customer who comes in contact with us, professional or not, keeping high standars in our profession because we love what we do.

Knowing in depth the art of sharpening and getting familiar with a wide range of tools we guarantee a very high quality service for those who want something more. Most of our products are carefully selected by us directly from factories across Europe. We only choose high quality products to provide you high-performance and durable tools that you will buy for the first and last time.

One test is enough. We would love to meet you!
