Athena’s head design is quite unique. We spent many hours designing until we achieved a perfect geometry that provides smooth and efficient shaves for everyone. There is no customer reporting to us that Athena is mild, non-efficient, or aggressive and non-smooth. We tried to achieve the perfect balance between smoothness and efficiency, and it seems we did it.  

We are developing our designs, while others are still struggling to keep up...

A few important characteristics that give us the edge:

• Edge-to-edge clamping: This is one of the most important aspects of our designs and we have implemented it from the very beginning. This type of blade clamping eliminates blade chatter, resulting in a smoother shave. The blade cuts through like a laser beam, effortlessly gliding through the hair.

• “Blind” bottom plate: The underside of the bottom plate is blind, meaning it does not have any holes or openings. This helps prevent slippery lather from ending up on the top of the handle and consequently on your hands.
• Lather channels on the bottom plate: Athena’s bottom plate design is unique, meaning that it features specially designed lather channels that drive lather and water out to the sides of the plate. When you rinse the head, water comes out from the sides of the head, perfectly cleaning the blade. This design is labor-intensive in CNC, requiring a significant amount of machining time.
• Neutral blade exposure: With zero blade exposure, you can be sure that the razor is safe, even for a beginner in traditional wet shaving.
• Small blade gap: Athena features a relatively small blade gap, while still being highly efficient. Again, this adds up to Athena being safe and smooth for everyone.
