This Cx safety razor is crafted from stainless steel Damascus—layered 304 and 316 stainless steels—paired with a carbon fiber handle core to create a piece that feels both modern and timeless. The water pattern is inspired by the legendary Damascus blades once forged for swords, prized for their strength, resilience, and artistry.

Though the original secrets of Damascus steel were lost in the 1800s, pattern-welded stainless steel forging carries that legacy forward. Each component of this Cx razor is individually etched, hand-sanded, and meticulously polished, revealing a one-of-a-kind pattern that ensures no two razors are ever the same. Each of these Cx razors are individually named instead of a serial number. Custom forged in the USA, this piece is designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship, rarity, and an enduring design.

The Mild Plate is shown, however all base plate options are available. We will confirm your base plate selection prior to shipping.

Maintenance:

• Periodically we recommend a professional jeweler or watchmaker use a sonic cleaner and steamer to help keep clean.
  

*Base Plate Options:

• All base plates have positive blade exposure

Original Base Plate -  This was our first design configuration, what makes this plate unique is the added blade feel. It has a .68mm blade gap with positive blade exposure. This design offers a lot of user control with this exposure and gap configuration. For a milder shave, you can change the angle or “ride the cap” for sensitive parts like the neck. For other areas, you can still have a good amount of efficiency. I would not recommend this one if you have sensitive skin. If you have course hair this could be a nice choice.

-/Mild Base Plate -  If you have sensitive skin, prefer less blade feel, have fine hair or just enjoy a mild shave, this is the one. Head shavers have enjoyed this one. This plate has our least blade exposure and a .71mm, our smallest blade gap. If you have sensitive skin, straight hair, curly hair or shave everyday...this is a nice choice.

+ 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.

++ Base Plate -  This one is for those who like a very efficient, yet smooth option. This plate is still with positive blade exposure, but has less exposure than the + Base Plate. This razor has a larger 1.08mm gap. If you have coarse hair, shave every 4-5 days or just like an efficient razor, this would be the one.
