I plan to make a few of these Cx pieces and add them to the site periodically when finished, the inspiration for this collection come from the the Japanese Ronin.

A Ronin was a samurai without a master, often they were mercenaries, bodyguards and sometimes criminals. The Ronin would still carry his katana swords, these swords were made in a similar way to the modern pattern welded Damascus steel found on the cap of this Cx-Ronin. The swords were forged and folded repeatedly and developed a distinct pattern based on the maker..

Our Titanium Web Plate is a unique design element to Carbon Shaving Co. The "Lightening holes" commonly used in F1 race cars, aerospace, military and marine industry designs, these holes optimizes the weight and strength of a design. 

The Cx-Ronin is made from some of the lightest and strongest material known to man. This aerospace inspired Cx razor, is made with USA titanium, USA made carbon fiber and custom forged stainless Damascus steel by a US blacksmith.

Key Design Elements Include:

• Blade Pinch Design- This feature holds the blade stiffer on both sides of the blade in order to reduce blade chatter and razor burn
• Innovative Web Plate - Our web design allows us to use the minimal amount of material to achieve the strongest and lightest base plate. This design also allows for a better flow of shaving debris
• Ergonomic Handle - Allows for more control and balance with the razor.
• High Polish Finish - Not only a classic aesthetic but this finish reduces drag on the face and increases corrosion resistant making this truly an heirloom razor.
• Premium Grade 5 Titanium - This grade of titanium is used extensively in military applications including rocket casings and military jets due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability.
• Stainless Damascus steel - The cap is made from custom forged, stainless Damascus steel(Grade 304/316). A true balance of beauty and performance.

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 gently boiling your damascus cap in water for 20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute soaking in alcohol to disinfect your razor and keep it clean.

Base Plate Options*:

-/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.
