CarbonShavingCo. New company & razor in the works....

Wednesday December 30,2020
Razor: Carbon Cx 1.08 (++) Plate
Blade: Wizamet (4)
Brush: Elite Razor/Manchurian
Soap: Zingari Man The Soloist
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: Mr. Burberry

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 jbreakfield Have a great day Everyone !!

Thanks so much for all of your reviews in this thread. Unfortunately, Carbon is not going to be for me based on everyone's descriptions.

Thanks, least I could do after they did the pass around.

Thanks Dave for that wonderful review. I also agree, I favor the ++ Carbon Cx as well. Dave in KY  post a video review if you get a chance, I enjoyed your past video reviews. All the Best

Boxing to go out today so would be without shaving or having it with me so probably no video review. Pretty certain there are some out already better than I could do  but thanks

Edited- If I can get some time after honey doos I'll try a short review video.......

Tried to throw my overall thoughts together. I'm old and forget easy after sleeping

Yep, arrived yesterday, several days ahead of the original estimate. 

I still have the Henson pass around razor, so wanted to get at least another shave or two in with it before trying out the Carbon. It seems between late delivery of the Henson and early delivery of the Carbon the USPS has caused me to have some overlap with pass around razors.
