Officers of this unit designed the knife based on the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, issued to British special forces earlier in the war. Our S1 handle, including the rings and hourglass shape, is based on this dagger handle design:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"...there are two important factors to bear in mind: balance and keenness.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ Base Plate -\u003c\/strong\u003e  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 only shave every 2-3 days...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e++ Base Plate - \u003c\/strong\u003e 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 + 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/7452\/6772\/files\/Updated_Blade_Gap_Exposure_Chart_480x480.jpg?v=1628629514\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carbon Shaving Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42531543449694,"sku":null,"price":679.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/7452\/6772\/files\/Top_view_Limited_edition_handle_S1_-_Titanium_damascus_safety_razor_-_Limited_edition_model.jpg?v=1773342838","url":"https:\/\/carbonshavingco.com\/products\/limited-cx-v42","provider":"Carbon Shaving Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
