4th shave with the Carbon Cx razor, this time with the 1.08 (++) Plate. By far the Goldilocks out of the 4 for me. It was apparent on the 1st pass which caused me to go grab my tablet to do a video of the shave but since it was spur of the moment I didn't feel it came out well or that I articulated things well and it was unfair to Carbon Razor as they deserved better so I trashed it. Bottom line is I like this razor but even this plate doesn't push me to the purchase category. All was well until I went with my atg pass and the lack of arch and clamp close enough to the edge effects the rigidity of the blade for me and therefore the comfort/smoothness of the shave. Do I have kevlar whiskers ? No, but for whatever reason if I don't have a rigidly held blade it is an issue for my atg pass with my stiff whiskers. Not an issue for everyone and so this could be a perfect razor for you. For me I have others that excel in all the areas my beard requires with the Yates 921 "H" Plate standing at the pinnacle for me. That said, this is an extremely well built/machined razor and beautiful as well. If I were to buy one the 1.08 (++) Plate would be the one. I don't see how you could go wrong if you found the right fit for yourself in one of their 4 plates. The company is a solid company producing beautiful tools for our pleasure. I thanks Carbon Razor and DFS for hosting this pass around so I could be informed. I will clean/sanitize and ship to the next participant. Have a great day Everyone !! @clint64 YOU'RE SAFE

Good Morning!

Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

This completes my three shave run with the Carbon razor. I find this to be a wonderfully smooth razor and I'm happy to have it in the collection.

Have a great day!
