This is a superbly engineered precision instrument of the highest calibre and delivers a sublime shave. A previous review compared it to a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m? That watch is a mass produced, mass market sold mainly in shopping malls. The Carbon is the exact opposite of this type of manufacturing process. A good comparison would be hand made watches from Patek Philippe and Glashutte Original.

Very nice

I started wet shaving 5 years ago. My collection (4) of razors is rather small and I was looking to add another to my small collection. I had price resistance, but considering my appreciation for high quality, I finally went for it. Wow! This is an amazing shaving tool that produces a close and very comfortable shave. The design and engineering is superb…the geometry, blade angle, and exposure are spot on. Those that are first time buyers (like myself) from Sean, there isn't a need to worry about the quality of Carbon Shaving's work. It is a beautiful looking razor, in fantastic condition, and perfectly functional. Quality material, quality design and quality results. My razor was sent in a very timely manner. Thank you once again Sean for a very pleasant purchasing experience.

This is my 3rd Carbon Razor, I have Ti, SS, Apex Damascus hands down to Sean to his excellence in Craftsmanship and design.. I’m really intrigued by his Carbon razors that I sold few in my Den to obtain my little Carbon Colection that I can enjoy and pass on to my son.. Packaging / Design/ Quality / Customer Service 10/10 Yes not Cheap but You Pay what you get like a Swiss Watch 👍🏼 Best Regards Alan H.

A stylish razor needs a stylish stand to protect it and show it off. This does the job admirably; perfectly balanced, high-shine to match the razor and not oversized, overweight and over-engineered like the one designed for the Rex Ambassador.

Entered DE safety razor shaving after a gap of around 40 years. I got the mild base plate. I shave beard and head. I finally plucked up the courage to use a Feather blade. I think this combo is perfect. I love seeing this thing upright in its Ti stand. It really is a jewel. It helps me honor myself as a man - the care of the design and precision of execution make for a superb experience. Amazing.

Peter M. - March 20 2022

I have few Top Notch DE Razors in my Den and I have to say this is buy far The Best DE Razor I seen Yet. My Carbon CX . 68 Ti with Carbon Fiber Handle with the weight of 32 gr I was more than impressed, it’s design, and polish on Ti material is hard to achieve to perfection Carbon has done it, the way plate is done with chevron rinsing channels and to mention their new Web Plates is another level of achievement hands down..Kudos to Sean. Overall I highly Recommend Carbon razors it’s packaging and overall quality I give 10/10.. This will make a highly collectible DE Razors to pass on generation and appreciate its Craftsmanship.

I find it better to write about any product after some time, where time is constant for all of us yet there are those products that when handled, experienced, and are desired such that feel timeless. I would say that marine-grade stainless steel in my Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m, an automatic Calibre-16 that delivers never ending time has just been matched by the Cx-316L/Web Safety Razor. The experience from just handling it, the knurling, the polishing and precision of this instrument is of a watchmaker's caliber. Where I struggled to have a pain free shave, with the right geometry of a "mild-plate", the wet shave experience with CarbonShavingCo's amazing razor has transformed my anxiety to a welcoming activity. Amazing to look at, fantastic to use and superb workmanship - this is the only razor for me!

Chris - February 24 2022

What a lovely little item this is. Proof that a good design doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. Top quality leather, buttery soft and the razor and accessories (blades or alternative base plate) are kept nicely together.

Keith - February 23 2022

Thank you Sean for the introduction, if you have sensitive skin and your beard is not very thick, you need to shave every day (Asian face) cx-titan. 71 is reliable without any tingling. I have used a few knives, the TIMELESS RAZOR Ti.68.. is also a good knife, but the cx-titan .71 does not require special attention and can be used easily. Of course, to me the Rex Envoy is also a good representation of a knife, aggressive, but use it with care. Nice to see .cx-titan this big knife. For friends who don't know how to choose the bottom plate, a little reference. Sorry for bad English, use automatic translation.

徐士淵 - February 20 2022

Truly next level razors! I purchased two different base plates (Original and +) with mine and very glad I did. Two different types of shaves and when I change up between the Gillette and Feather blades I have even more flexibility! Keep up the great work..

JP - January 7 2022

I had some discussions with the owner to create a special piece I chose the + plate and I already have 2 of his other razors which are awesome so the shave is the same as the custom piece. The difference is in all the details of the entire razor!!! The entire razor is done in Damascus at a incredible level. I paid $999 for a razor and have no regrets I own 20 high end razors including 5 wolfman and let me assure you the detail on the Carbon is 1000% beyond any razor I own. I realize that is a large amount for a razor. The best way I can explain it to say I purchased a Rolls Royce vs. Cadillac. I will tell you in razor you purchase from Carbon is worth every penny if it’s going to be your last or just buying something like I did to just to have a piece of pure artisan handmade luxury!!!

Aaron H - December 30 2021

Desde su adquisicion en 2020, se ha convertido en mi preferida, uso habitualmente la placa base +, acabo de adquirir el handle de carbono en 316 L para usar la placa base ++, la cual uso de forma esporadica, en ambos casos es una maquina suave y tremendamente efectiva, aun por encima el trato ofrecido por Sean es exquisito y muy amable. Si eres adicot al afeitado es una maquina imprescindible

Tomas - December 4 2021

This is my second CX razor and it is fantastic. I opted for the + plate as I am an every other day shaver and wow it works great. The web base plate is nice and light and also allows the soap or cream to pass through with ease. I’ve never had a razor clogging problem but this thing just sheds the lather on its own. It works well and rinses out very easily during a shave. Another great product from Sean and great customer service as well. This guy knows what he is doing. Support American made products that will last a lifetime.

Mike - September 5 2021

I am thrilled with the quality, craftsmanship and ingenuity of this razor/DE blade sheath. I really appreciate the minimalist design yet it securely holds a razor and a tuck of DE blades. The leather smell is amazing too. I highly recommend this product.

Nick C - August 9 2021

Nothing less than a precision instrument for your shaving, designed for absolute functionality for the task in hand. Accurate balance & handling which is so intuitive, giving you total control from the moment you pick it up. This is what a perfect d/e razor looks like.

N0gZ - July 3 2021

This razor hits so many notes for me; It looks amazing, the 2 tone look of the handle. The carbon fiber and titanium metal looks so clean. The knurling is very good, this handle will not slip out of your hand. The positioning of the knurling also suits the way I hold my razors. It's super light weight and maneuverable. Allows me to move the razor however I want. I never feel I need to add more pressure to my strokes. Smooth yet efficient. Ultra smooth shave yet still has some blade feel so you know it is cutting. I could be done in 2 passes but I enjoy using the razor so much I do 3 anyways. I used the included Gillette Nacet blades for the first few shaves when I received it, for me the Nacet is okay but not as smooth around my moustache region. My standard go to blades Personna Reds/Med Prep and Voskhod were smooth as butter.

Kevin N - May 21 2021

Thank you Sean for the opportunity to own such a superior shaving tool. This is the best money can buy. The .71mm shave is incredibly soft and effective. This forces me to make a new purchase and be sure to have .68mm. Thank you.

Nikolay - May 20 2021

I have had my eye on this razor because I love a good American made product. The only thing holding me back was price, because it is expensive. You get what you pay for with this razor which is very high quality. I opted for the original base plate with the positive blade exposure and .68mm blade gap which is a very nice medium aggressive shave. I also opted for the 316L handle because I like some weight and heft to my razors. I paired this razor with a brand new Perma-sharp super DE blade and I got an amazing shave. I have an above average thick beard that is VERY course and this glided through 3 days growth with no issue at all. The razor has a nice weight to it that only requires the weight of the razor to cut through your whiskers. I highly recommend this razor and it is on par with my other higher end razors, Rex Ambassador and Karve Christopher Bradley razor. I would give this razor a small leg up for presentation though. While the other two razors have more of a matte/bead blasted finish, this has a nice polish finish that makes it look a little more elegant and high class. Obviously this is subjective but figured I’d give my opinion. Overall, this is a great buy and I am very happy with this razor. Great job by Carbon shaving. I also received very good customer service from Carbon shaving. If you are thinking about this razor, save your money and you won’t be disappointed.

Mike - May 11 2021

After a few weeks of use, i'm absolutely convinced of the cx-titan. It's the best razor i have. The feel of the blade and the sound when it glides over the skin. I love it.

Kurt - May 7 2021

This razor is awesome and I enjoy the ++ plate. I have really sensitive skin that hates me if I make ATG passes; that is until I tried this razor. I still have minor irritation (bad technique), but with enough practice I think I found my lifelong razor. I highly recommend everyone try a carbon razor. It doesn't have to be a Ti model, but these are worth every penny . The only downside is that this makes me want to buy another baseplate

Ross - March 11 2021

I thought about purchasing this wonderful tool for quite a while, I shouldn’t have done! This razor is not only beautiful But gives an amazing shave. Gentle but oh! So efficient, no irritation and yet shaves as close as most men will ever need. In fact most will be amazed! I was and I own about twelve safety razors, I won’t disappoint anyone. It’s the razor I have been searching for. It really is that good! I am a seasoned safety razor user and have shaved with most safety razors on sale. This is the best ! I really do look forward to my shave, I’m almost excited. If like me your sitting on the fence, don’t just get one! After my first shave I kept looking at the razor in almost disbelief, but the next day was just the same. Customer service is perfect. It’s fantastic!

J Manning. - February 21 2021

I would always tell anyone that would listen that the Carbon Ti is the best razor in the market...until I bought the Atlas which is outstanding in every way. It is super light which makes it extremely maneuverable. Provides an absolute BBS 2 pass shave every time is use it. Can’t say enough good things about this razor...I have the 316, Ti and now CX-Atlas and I have to say the Atlas is my go to razor. Still love the original Ti but I definitely grab the Atlas a lot more!

Wow!! Just got here. There is little to be said. Beautiful, aesthetically, even better to use, I couldn’t wait for it to come. I bought the cx – 316L model because I prefer steel as a material, although I have to admit that all available models are wonderful. That's the kind of razor I wake up in the morning, call you and send you to get rid of! Real unique, as the only producers are, organised and not even in four useful days of work! For me, the best. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹.

Fabrizio Fini - February 13 2021

The Carbon Cx-Ti is absolute perfection. Build quality is stunning. More importantly the shave is next level. I purchased the Standard Base Plate, and absolutely love the positive blade exposure. The combination of weight, blade exposure, and blade gap delivers a shave like none before. I have to say, I’m a little sad the search for the perfect razor seems to be over.

Eric D. - December 31 2020

This was my first Ti razor. It is beautifully made. I bought two plates, the regular and the ++. The shave is very easy with either plates. Carbon was also a pleasure to deal with, with very good communication. If you think you'd like a super light razor, then this is a beauty.

Barry - November 10 2020

I don’t know why or how but EVERY TIME I shave with this razor I get a perfect shave...regardless of blade. I always use an alum block after every shave and typically have a zing or two. I have used this razor dozens of times and have never felt a single zing after the shave....never got a weeper, just a smooth comfortable shave. If you think this razor looks good, it performs even better!! I will be buying the stainless when back in stock.

I waited a bit to really get some time in with the Cx-Ti. And honestly, all the reviews below say it all. The Cx-Ti is a superbly made razor to exacting tolerances for a superb feel in the hands. Light yet proportionately weighted and extremely well balanced. I’ve tried both the + & ++ plate and the shaves are very satisfying. My favorite is the ++ plate as it gives the Cx-Ti some extra ooomph while still being extremely smooth and soft on the skin. This razor is the real deal gentlemen. If you’re considering jumping into the exotic alloy of uber luxury razors, the Cx-Ti should be placed and considered in ones real short list of razors to consider & acquire. Customer service is of elite status. Every question and concern I had was courteously and quickly responded to. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bravo Carbon, Bravo....

This razor is phenomenal! I can't believe how good this razor feels in hand and how good of a shave it gives. I can't wait to try the other base plates when they become available! This will not be my last Carbon razor!

I was rocking the regular Cx-316L with the .68 plate, then I got the + .88, and ++ 1.08 plates to adjust after each pass. Fantastic. Can't praise this razor enough. The sign of a really great razor design is if it can take any blade. This bad boy smoothed out a Derby Lion.

Had my first shave with this razor today. Truly a work of art, perfectly balanced and exceptionally smooth shaving experience. Sits between R41 and R89 in term of aggressiveness. On top of this, customer service is second to none.

Add this to the growing list of exceptional U.S. made heritage brands that are proving there is a market for outstanding quality in a disposable world. The fit and finish of this razor are as great as the pictures show, but the real headline here is the quality of shave. I actually received this razor as a gift and with it being my first to not have 3-6 blades I was a little skeptical as to how practical it would be, boy was I wrong. I get virtually the exact same quality of cut with this razor as I did with my old expensive cartridges. Overall I’m super happy with this razor and I’m looking forward to what else Carbon has in store.
