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..

The Cx-Ronin is made from stainless Damascus steel(Grade 304/316), titanium and carbon fiber. A true balance of beauty and performance.

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 open matrix structure allows for the free flow of debris, soap and water.

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.

Original Base Plate -  This was our first design configuration, what makes this plate unique is the added blade exposure. It’s still my personal favorite and has a .68mm with positive blade exposure. This design offers a lot of user control with the positive blade exposure. 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.

- Base Plate -  This is our newest 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 blade gap.

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