Lambda Athena - The Idea The Design The Razor
Athena is the second model of “Lambda Razors” released in late 2021. As soon as it hit the market, we received numerous excellent reviews. Actually, it became so popular that we couldn’t even keep up with the demand. The main quality of Lambda Athena is its efficiency, while still being gentle and smooth on the skin. A lot of customers praised Athena, making it quickly one of the most popular safety razors on the market.
Why Athena?
Athena, is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and handicraft. Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. The Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens is dedicated to her. Her major symbols include owls, olive trees, snakes, and the Gorgoneion. In art, she is generally depicted wearing a helmet and holding a spear.In Greek mythology, Athena was believed to have been born from the forehead of her father Zeus. In some versions of the story, Athena has no mother and is born from Zeus’ forehead by parthenogenesis. In others, such as Hesiod’s Theogony, Zeus swallows his consort Metis, who was pregnant with Athena; in this version, Athena is first born within Zeus and then escapes from his body through his forehead.
We were inspired by the goddess Athena, as the character of the razor has a connection to what she symbolizes. Wisdom, craftsmanship, and quiet strength. For us, Lambda Athena is a “wise war machine” without any exaggerations in its design. The “owl,” one of the most important symbols of the goddess Athena, also inspired us in the design of the razor’s head profile.
Head Design
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.
Handle Design
For the design of the handle, we drew inspiration from a unique type of ancient Greek amphora called a “lekythos”. This type of amphora was used in ancient times as a vessel to store perfumes for young women and athletes. We adapted the shape to create a razor handle that still maintains the essence of the original concept.
Material
We use a special bronze alloy for Athena, which exhibits excellent corrosion resistance for this type of material. It is widely used in marine applications and is highly expensive. It is a few times more expensive than 316 stainless steel! However, it will need some care in order to maintain its great mirror finish over time, as it will develop a slight patina if left in humid environments. With proper care, it will maintain its original finish effortlessly.
Specifications
Blade exposure: 0
Blade gap: 0.41mm
Weight: 95gr
Manufacturing
We are proud to manufacture our razors in Greece. The razors are manufactured entirely on the latest spec CNC machines, and we always ensure that the components are made with the highest precision.
The components are hand-finished to a mirror-like polish. This is a meticulous task that requires a lot of time time and attention to detail.
We utilize the laser engraving technique for logos and serial numbers.
Serial Numbering
We assign a unique serial number to each of our razors. It is positioned below the surface of the bottom plate. The format of the serial numbers is as follows:
xx-yyy
,where xx represents the year of manufacture and yyy represents the sequential number, starting from 001 for the first batch of that year.
Personalized booklet
Each razor comes with a personalized booklet. On the first inside page, there is the serial number of the razor, the model, and the name of the customer, all of which are handwritten. There is also a hand sign at the bottom of the page. This way, you can be sure that your razor is genuine. We also provide some brief information about “Lambda Razors” and our products.
Luxury Wooden Case
Lambda Razors is the only safety razor manufacturer offering such a luxurious and elegant packaging. We don’t want to offer a mass production item which is just a tool used to shave your beard. Our philosophy is to offer a meticulously crafted, collectable item, which will be with you for many years. And what better way to present a special and unique item than “dressing” it with the best “clothing” out there?
Lambda Athena comes as standard with a high quality, perfectly crafted wooden case made of solid African mahogany wood.* It is designed in 3D CAD software and manufactured to tight tolerances.
The two pieces of the case are shaped on CNC machines with special recesses inside them so the razor can fit tightly inside without moving when the case is closed. Additionally we are using a special beige color, suede-like fabric on the case recesses, so the razor will sit safely inside without any damage danger for the razor or the box itself.
The two pieces of the wooden case are connected together by a pair of bronze hinges.
The box also features a set of magnets embedded on the wood, so the top cap stays closed, a very useful feature when traveling.
On the top cap, you will find our logo engraved, as well as the model “symbol” on the front side. On the bottom there is an engraving of our website as well as the production date.
* African Mahogany wood
We made a long research to use a materials that would be elegant looking and matching the character of the razor. We have chosen a special wood, the African mahogany which add a luxury note to the whole product. Below you can read a short description of the wood and it’s specifications.
“Depending on its origin, growth conditions and specific strain (“African Mahogany” encompasses four different Khaya species), it color can range from a pale pink or muted orange, to a somewhat darker reddish- or golden-brown. It can also have darker striping, and, aesthetically, it can be further enhanced through figuring (ribbon; wavy diagonal; mottled) and varying levels of chatoyance.
Its grains are typically either straight or interlocked. It works, turns and finishes easily, and beautifully, although boards which feature interlocked grains can occasionally pose tearout issues when planing, joining or resawing.”

Premiere shave with my new Ares V2 razor and all I can say is WOW!! I have had and loved the Athena razor since I received it back in June 2022 and Ares is another hit! It is more aggressive than Athena very efficient and an absolute joy to use. Right now it is difficult to see any razor knock these two of the piedestal of my most beloved razors of all time. I probably have to consider selling a majority of my previous razors since I do believe a lot of them will only be sitting collecting dust from now on. I can not praise the design functionality and craftmanship enough!! The only thing I could possibly see knocking these razors off the top position for me is another new razor design from Lambda Razors. Thank you for another amazing razor Theodoros!!

This razor took me baby surprise. Ultra-efficient but so smooth. Top place in my collection.
Robert Fraser –
I thought the Athena was good – the Ares goes even further. Astonishingly close safe shave. Actually used it this morning for the second time. Build quality is sublime. Τhe handle – I just adore the weight and how it feels in the hand. Decent length makes it very maneuverable & user friendly. This is one of the best razors on the market.
Άγγελος Πλέσσας –
This is one of the most efficient razors I own and by far the most beautiful one. The craftsmanship is at the highest level and the attention to each and every detail is second to none. Congratulations for making such a piece of excellence
Malcolm C. –
Very impressed. The design – build quality and the fact it does an exceptional job of shaving all make this razor a favourite for me. I was initially concerned the open comb nature could make this too aggressive for me but this was absolutely not the case. I think the Ares V2 is just slightly more efficient than the superb Athena but just as smooth and comfortable. Theodore has provided two world class razors presented in a manner and with a price point that is unrivalled in my opinion.
Rafal Dobrzyniecki –
Great and really impressive razor! Both from visual perspective (for me it’s the best-looking razor I have beating even Wolfman or polished Timeless) and its efficiency. It’s really efficient and still not too aggressive.

… I find it simply THE traditional razor. Muhle R41 is famous celebrated and yet a very balanced and efficient razor but it found is Nemesis with Ares razor. Ares’ aesthetics are olympic and its efficiency is ruthless. A promethean skillful work of art is born. Congratulations.

Εξαιρετική μηχανή ένα κομψοτέχνημα. Ίσως στις 3 καλύτερες που έχω. Μηδενική αίσθηση λεπίδας σε σημείο να πιστεύω ότι δεν με ξυρίζει αλλά το αποτέλεσμα με διέψευσε. Bbs με 2 χέρια και χαμόγελο μέχρι τα αυτιά. Η μηχανή που δεν θα φύγει ποτέ από την συλλογή μου και λόγω εμφάνισης αλλά και λόγω αποτελεσματικότητας.
Vicente –
Shave 3 days of beard that have flown with total effectiveness. The first pass in favor of note the blade working – its presence is already surprising – and not slipping without knowing if it cuts something! The second effortless lateral pass is almost ready – to notice the ease with which one passes -you have to control yourself- due to the smoothness of the pass! A beautiful razor and well made.
Jose Fernandes –
Amazing razor. Both extremely beautiful and super-efficient. A must to have.

J’ai 25 rasoirs Ares v2 et Athena sont les plus beaux et en plus ils rasent bien . Je suis un homme heureux .

I bought the Ares v2 last year when it became available for the first time. Having already owned the Athena I was certain that this razor will not disappoint. Indeed I was blown away at how much a work of art this is and more importantly how well it shaved. It remains as one of my favourite razors that deliver without fail top notch efficiency matched with incredible smoothness.
Georgios –
Έχω αρκετές μηχανές στην κατοχή μου αλλα αυτή εδώ ξεχωρίζει!Πραγματικά η μηχανή είναι πανέμορφη και στιβαρή με τα κόμματα να κουμπώνουν τελεια το ένα με το άλλο.Κάνει πολύ αποδοτικό ξύρισμα και συνάμα γλυκό! Μπορείς να μείνεις και μόνο με ενα πέρασμα αν θες…το τρίτο πέρασμα είναι υπερβολή! Πολλά συγχαρητήρια στην Lambda razors και στο Θοδωρή! Τη συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα σε όσους ξυρίζονται 1 με 2 φορές την εβδομάδα.

Eccezionale in linea con l’altro che avevo gia’ ( Athena ) pettine chiuso . In effetti non ho potuto far altro che affiancarli sono di alto livello nella cura dei particolari nel packaging e oltre tutto nella resa nell’utilizzo . Spero siano previsti altri in arrivo
Agustin Puertas –
Today I have released this beautiful razor I have been very impressed by the closeness / smoothness ratio. It is really very beautiful with a very well-balanced weight and balance but the best thing about this razor is its effectiveness. With two passes it is enough to obtain a very good shave. My best wishes to the manufacturer. I highly recommend it.

Wally Pankowski –
The Ares V2 razor is by far the best razor I have ever used. The razor is comfortable smooth and amazingly efficient. Theodoros has created a masterpiece of razors. This is a razor that both new and experienced shavers can handle. I highly recommend this tool to all wet shavers.
Richard Ramakers –
Very efficient but also a smooth shave with this fabulous razor. Amazing razor!
Alfred –
The Ares truly is a stunning razor. It’s very well crafted to be balanced smooth and efficient. It ticks every box of what an excellent shave should be. You could be forgiven to be fooled by the open comb design to believe that this is going to be an aggressive shaver but you will be pleasantly surprised as you navigate the contours of your face without fear or hesitation as it can handle both one days growth or many weeks of growth. There is just enough blade feel to give you a sense of where you to feel pleasant and to gauge an angle of attack for your shave without feeling like a threat at all. There is either some sort of witchcraft here or some well considered knowledge in design which never fails to leave you with a smooth irritation free shave. Remarkable! The handle’s grip is excellent and makes for a great looking razor as a nod to Greece’s wonderful past that I admire so much. (I’m looking forward to what comes next) If you buy from Lambda you can rest assured that you are buying a quality razor with even better customer support. Very few razors reach this level of excellence as far as I am concerned. This razor is fine enough to be a daily shaver even with my relatively sensitive skin which is something not many razors have been able to achieve in my vast collection of razors. If irritation free-BBS shaves is what you are looking for then you will have found it here in the Ares razor. It’s just a joy to use. You can rest assured I will be looking at this brand very closely from now on.
Tomas –
Best razor from all I have. High efficient but very smooth. Plus it’s piece of art. Build quality is excellent. I can only recommend Lamda razors to all my friends.

What can I say about Ares v2… The quality is exceptional at every level even in its one-of-a-kind wooden case. Ares is an aggressive razor with an impeccable finish very robust and very delicate quality and appearance. As for the shave it offers with the required attention it is very deep and effective. It’s the ultimate tool for an enjoyable and high quality shave! In short… a well-tuned Ferrari of wet shaving! Congratulations to the manufacturer! Highly recommended!

Es la maquinilla más suave y apuradora que he probado nunca. Proporciona un afeitado perfecto sin irritación alguna. Sólo lamento no haberla probado antes. Totalmente recomendable.

The Ares razor is fantastic! Very efficient and mild at the same time. Ares looks great and so does the mahogany case. The overall presentation is magnificent. Theodoros is very responsive and friendly. Now I need an Athena also!
James Stikeleather –
I love everything about it, hard to choose whether to use it or the Athena. Evolving to Athena “daily” and Ares when I miss a day. Both are world class!
Wang –
awesome razor with beautiful looking
Uwe –
Sehr gute Qualität
Mike S. –
The Ares razor is a marvel of precision engineering, much like its counterpart, the Athena. While it carries a touch more aggression than the Athena, it still delivers an impeccably smooth and close shave. Like the Athena, it’s exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin. Since switching to these razors, I’ve bid farewell to whiteheads and razor bumps, a common woe with my other, more renowned and pricey razors. Alternating between the Ares and Athena depending on my beard growth, I find both to be daily essentials. Their craftsmanship is truly a sight to behold, and considering their performance, they’re an absolute steal at their price point.
Dejan Dragojevic –
Alles Top!!! Der beste Hobel!

Bin sehr zufrieden und werde Lambda Razor gerne weiter empfehlen.
Und Danke für den tollen Service!
