A jaw-dropping razor in all respects. Have been a wet shaver for decades and have a dozen razors, some vintage and some present day. THIS one beats them all, hands down. It is not cheap but they deliver an incredible value for the money. HIGHLY recommended. Stop thinking about it, just BUY it already - even more beautiful in person and performs like no other.

The skin feel is truly remarkable. The Athena puts me in mind of the "...", and the "...", but more efficient. The Athena gave me a higher level of efficiency at 3 passes with extreme comfort. I was astounded to feel not even a hint of irritation on the neck area. The Athena could easily be my one and only razor for face shaving.

The Lambda Athena is an absolute masterpiece! It’s an incredible razor that offers smoothness, efficiency and luxury in one package.

I can say that this razor is an absolute masterpiece. Before I bought it, I read a lot of positive reviews about it, in fact, come to think of it, I haven't read a negative comment. But, in practice, my expectations were exceeded.

This Razor keeps surprising me. I don’t know what voodoo magic was used to make a Razor with such a small blade-gap so smooth and efficient. Highly recommended.

(...)Then along comes the Lambda Athena. I bought it a month ago. I have not shaved with any other razor since I received it. I see no point. I love my other razors, but they just don't perform as well. I have shaved with the razors in my den for years and I know them well. But they just don't hold up against the Lambda Athena.

Athena is a masterwork in form and function and exudes quality. I still believe the Athena is a two or three-pass razor, but unlike my experience with the "...", or even the "...", it delivers a BBS with almost no irritation. More than just efficiency and comfort, the Athena's beauty lends an air of elegance to my morning ablutions. Until it's dethroned, it's my daily driver.
