One wears blue: our proprietary CarboBlue™ titanium-based PVD finish. Shifting with the light - cool, electric, unpredictable. A surface alive with motion. 

CarboBlue™ is a proprietary titanium-based PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish developed for its vibrant color, resilience, and technical elegance. Inspired by the shifting tones of heat-treated titanium, CarboBlue™ offers a dynamic, deep blue appearance that changes with the light. Beyond its striking look, this finish delivers exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance—making it as functional as it is visually distinctive.

This piece, features a Damascus stainless steel cap(forged grades 304 and 316). 

Technically the term for this Damascus metal is "pattern-weld" as the true secret to the original "Damascus steel" was lost to time in the 1800's. Although modern metals are far superior to the early Damascus steel, this steel was ahead of its time. No one has been able to reproduce the original Damascus steel process but research tells us that carbon nanotubes are found in the original steel...likely from the addition of carbon during the forging process.

The top cap was individually etched, hand sanded and gently polished. The Damascus steel was custom forged in the USA.

Material:

• All stainless steel Damascus cap (Grades 304/316). Custom forged in the USA.
• Grade 316L stainless steel handle and base plate
• All pieces have a CarboBlue™ - Blue High-Gloss Coating
  

Finish:

• High Polish Finish - Some machine marks are visible. Some scratches also exist. These can be seen under the cap, on critical dimensions and when magnified.
• Each Top-cap Damascus pattern is unique, no 2 are the same
• Hand sanded and polished
• This finish will wear and chip as you use and drop your razor.

Technical Specifications:

• ~86 grams total weight
• Positive blade exposure
• 92 mm handle length (3.6 inches) - 13 mm handle diameter (.5 inches)
• + Base Plate - We reduced the blade exposure from the original but increased the gap to .88mm. This is a nice option if you prefer less blade feel, yet still enjoy a higher efficiency in a razor. This plate is also a nice option if you have dense hair or only shave every 2-3 days...if you are unsure what base plate is right for you, this is probably the one. You still have a good amount of user control with the positive blade exposure to adjust the efficiency with technique and blade choice.

Maintenance:

• We recommend keeping your razor clean, remove blade, use a soft tooth brush with dish soap and water to gently clean your razor. Pad dry your razor thoroughly after with a paper towel. Air drying is also OK.
  
• Periodically we also recommend a sonic clean of your Top-cap at your local jeweler, followed by a 10 minute soaking in alcohol to disinfect your razor.
