Based on the standard plates a lot of my customers have enjoyed the Gillette Nacet(feels milder) and the Kai blades. We use Astra for all our testing...
Other ones mentioned by my customers are:
Bic Chrome Platinum
Gillette Silver Blue
I would defer to ShaveMD's suggestions on the ++ plates...thanks for sharing those.
Keep us posted what works for you Zac...thanks for the support. Your unit will ship tomorrow/Monday...

A small company trying to make a great razor...
I think after a lot of deliberation I will try the standard gap this week with a Kai blade. I won't go into details but I have a few reasons I will try this first. Initially that seemed to seem like it may be too much, I think it will be a good first choice. If it ends up being too sharp or harsh, I think a smart backup or 2nd and third test blades would be Wizamet (the brownish color cover) and then a Pol Silver Super Iridium.
I'm sure my second shave will be with the ++ plate later next week. Thank you all for your suggestions everyone. I will share the shave on video, or at least I plan to and will see if it helps anyone. Cheers you guys

Really enjoyed the shaves with both the 0.68 and 1.08 base plates . I started with the Kai blade and was very satisfied with both the level of sharpness and smoothness. I got quite a few great shaves out that blade as well. I also had one shave using an old and used Wizamet that gave me some razor burn for a bit but the Carbon still made it a great shave! I have more Wizamets to tests coming in soon but will test those later this month. I most recently used a Pol Silver Super Iridium and enjoyed the results. Maybe not a close cutting as a Kai blade but still plenty smooth. Next to use will be a red pack Israeli Personna Platinum Chrome. I also want to try out the Gillette Silver Blue sometime in the future as well as those weren't a blade I loved in the past. I also snagged a couple packs of Perma Sharp to try down the line.
Really loving the Carbon!
