To change things up while doing my Cx razor testing, today I decided to roll with the Cx-Atlas titanium and carbon fiber. I wanted to see how this thing would sing considering its low weight at 30 grams!

Software-wise I went with the ever-gorgeous Delor De Treget. This collaborative soap was produced by The Sudsy Soapery, while its scent was crafted by Chatillon Lux.

Its notes of bergamot and cedarwood are rounded out by the sweet smell of orange and calming lavender. Underneath it all, a brooding undertone of labdanum supports the accord. It really is a nice scent that I wish I could have enjoyed more via a splash.

With a day 5 Wilkinson Sword blade installed, I went to it. The Carbon Cx-Atlas did a great job. It was very lightweight and therefore very nimble and maneuverable but with the "++" plate's ever-so-subtle positive blade exposure and its large gap, its efficiency really shined. I could feel the blade but it wasn't as irritating as some other blade forward razors I've used.

I did a three-pass shave and easily walked away with a bbs.

I have to take a moment to call out this soap again. A lot of you know what residual slickness is and how it really helps when doing any amount of buffing with a razor. You also know that you can feel it, especially when trying to rinse your face clean. There's something different about this soap that not only has that residual slick feeling but there's this sort of protective coating feel to it. I don't know if it's the clay, butter, or the oil. Either way, it's quite remarkable and I have to say, I just loved it! It feels great!

To round things out I opted for some Black Watch aftershave. This stuff is the definition of a "Banger" and is a favorite of mine. If you've been sleeping on this one, you're really missing out. It's a 10/10 for sure!

Alright good people, there you have it. Another great shave. Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.
