I bought both these razors at retail price from both companies and am not invested, affiliated or sponsored by either manufacturer. These are 2 relatively new Titanium razors in what is becoming, thankfully for us wetshavers, a growing market of extremely well made, designed, tight fitting razors that give a very smooth efficient shave. I really like both these razors and am very glad they are in my den, the difference between these 2 are small but apparent to me when I compare them side by side.
Carbon Cx-Ti ++(6A 4V Ti) $349.99 USD Weight 52g
Haircut & Shave Titanium Grade 5 PO76 $400 USD Weight 62g
The fit of these 2 razors is best of the best, both come with washers between handle and head and though I am not a fan I have kept them on these 2 razors.
The polished finish is Slightly better on the H&S but the laser markings on the Cx baseplate are very crisp and I like it.
Pre-Shave ETHOS First Lather
Blade 1st use Nacet
Soap ETHOS Clean
Brush Brad Sears Ebonite
AS ETHOS unscented Skin Food
I did a 2 pass WTG then ATG shave on a 24 hour beard.
First Pass. Both razors took down 90% of my growth and were very smooth, slightly more blade feel with the H&S and a little louder feedback. The Cx has a slightly narrower sweet spot but it is easy to find and maintain
Second Pass. Again both razors were very smooth, the Cx felt a little smoother ATG, but based on my last few shaves with the H&S it may be because of the Nacet blade vs. the Polsilver I had been using in the H&S.
Cool water rinse and the Cx side needed a little touch up around the Adam’s apple and a small area under the Jawline for BBS, the H&S was BBS without touch up.
Both of these razors gave an excellent smooth shave for me, the Cx was ever so slightly smoother ATG and the H&S was a little more efficient. They both got me a wonderful BBS shave and I can use both as a daily driver.
