The manufacturer places the Standard plate in the mild-medium range on its razor scale. It suits users who want a milder presentation without moving to the more assertive options in the range.
The plate is made from 316L marine grade stainless steel and is fully CNC machined. In practice, this means a precisely made metal part built with close attention to geometry and machining tolerances.
This version has positive blade exposure. The manufacturer also states that the BBS head geometry bends the blade more and lowers the working angle to about 35 degrees, which is tied to a firmer blade hold and a more intuitive stroke across the skin.
You are purchasing the base plate only. Use it with an existing BBS top cap.
