Description

Lambda Ares v2

The iconic open comb Lambda

Our refined second-generation open comb, perfected since its 2021 debut. The Lambda Ares v2 balances the effectiveness of its predecessor with a gentler, more controlled shave—positioning it as a mild to medium aggressive instrument. Crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel and presented in a solid Manchurian ashwood case, it represents the evolution of precision grooming.

Why "Ares" ?

Named for the Greek god of war and valor, the Lambda Ares v2 channels both precision and power. This open-comb razor embodies the duality of its namesake—delivering an effective, commanding performance while maintaining refined control. Made in in mirror-polished stainless steel, it transforms daily grooming into an act of deliberate mastery.

Inspired by the god of war, the Lambda Ares v2 merges aggressive efficiency with refined smoothness. Building on the original's formidable performance, this evolution delivers a mild to medium aggressive shave without compromise—a razor engineered for those who demand both power and finesse in their grooming ritual.

Head Design

A traditionally-inspired head refined through meticulous engineering, the Ares v2 achieves equilibrium between cutting efficiency and comfort. Every detail has been calibrated to deliver a balanced shave—neither compromising on performance nor sacrificing the smoothness discerning users expect.

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.
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: Ares v2 features a relatively small blade gap, while still being highly efficient. Again, this adds up to Ares v2 being safe and smooth for everyone.

Handle Design

The handle draws its aesthetic from classical Doric architecture, translating timeless proportions into contemporary form. This design philosophy infuses the razor with understated elegance—a tactile expression of refined craftsmanship that elevates the grooming experience beyond mere function.

Material

Crafted from a specialized bronze alloy engineered for superior corrosion resistance—a material standard in marine applications—the Lambda Ares v2 delivers durability in demanding environments. The material demands minimal maintenance, particularly in humid conditions where a natural patina develops. A straightforward care routine maintains the pristine surface and extends the razor's functional lifespan with minimal intervention.

The Lambda Ares v2 leverages bronze's inherent antimicrobial properties, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria on contact. This natural advantage makes it an exceptionally hygienic choice for grooming applications, combining performance with a material science benefit that requires no chemical additives or coatings.

Quote from copper.org:

“Over 400 copper alloy compositions are currently registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make public health claims about their ability to kill six, disease-causing bacteria, including the hospital superbugs MRSA and VRE. Copper-nickel alloys are a popular choice for antimicrobial touch surface applications as they combine excellent strength, durability and corrosion resistance.”

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

Each Lambda Ares v2 receives a distinctive serial identifier engraved beneath the base plate, establishing provenance and manufacturing chronology. The alphanumeric format—xx-yyy—encodes the production year and sequential batch position, with yyy commencing at 001 for each annual production cycle. This systematic identification protocol ensures complete traceability and authenticates each razor's manufacturing lineage.

Personalised 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 stands alone in the safety razor category through its commitment to luxury presentation architecture. The packaging philosophy reflects a foundational belief: that a precision-engineered collectible instrument deserves presentation commensurate with its craftsmanship and intended longevity. The unboxing experience functions as an integral component of the product narrative, ensuring that aesthetic and tactile excellence extend from the instrument itself through every touchpoint of ownership.

Lambda Ares v2 includes a bespoke protective case fabricated from solid African mahogany, engineered via precision CAD design and manufactured to exact dimensional specifications. The case functions as both protective and presentation platform, embodying the same commitment to material excellence and technical rigor that characterizes the razor itself.

The mahogany case comprises two precision-machined components featuring engineered recesses that secure the razor with zero tolerance, preventing movement during transport or storage. The interior surfaces are lined with specialized beige suede-finish fabric, providing protective cushioning that safeguards both the instrument and case from contact damage while ensuring stable positioning throughout the case lifecycle.

The mahogany case employs bronze hinges to articulate its two-piece construction, with embedded magnets ensuring secure closure during transport and storage. The top surface features laser-engraved branding and model iconography, while the base displays the Lambda Razors website identifier.

Material selection for the Lambda Ares v2's protective case reflects extensive research into wood species capable of complementing the razor's aesthetic and functional character. African mahogany was chosen for its inherent luxury positioning and visual harmony with the bronze instrument, establishing a cohesive material narrative throughout the complete product ecosystem.

African mahogany exhibits chromatic variation spanning pale rose through deep golden-brown, contingent upon geographic origin, growth conditions, and specific Khaya species designation. The wood naturally displays figuring characteristics—ribbon, wavy, or mottled patterns—with inherent chatoyance that enhances visual depth. Grain structure typically manifests as straight or interlocked configurations, facilitating superior workability and finishing while occasionally presenting technical challenges during precision machining operations on interlocked-grain specimens.

Review: Lambda Ares – Precision, Passion, and the Art of the Shave

As someone who treats shaving not as a chore but as a craft, my den spans the full spectrum — from double edge (DE) classics like the Blackland Blackbird to Artist Club shavettes, traditional straights I hone myself on whetstones, and even the asymmetric elegance of a Kamisori. My blade drawer is equally diverse: Feather, Bic Chrome Platinum, Personna Med Prep — all tested extensively, often in blind trials where my technique and razor choice smooth out their differences.

In the DE sphere, the Blackbird Open Comb has long been my benchmark for unapologetic efficiency — generous blade exposure, surgical closeness, and a demand for a feather-light touch. Recently, though, I added a very different philosophy to my rotation: the Lambda Ares, a Greek-made razor that approaches closeness through innovation rather than aggression.

---

Design Philosophy

Where the Blackbird leans into exposure, the Ares works with near-zero blade exposure, using a unique curvature of the baseplate and comb to guide skin and hair into the perfect cutting position. The result is a shave that feels forgiving yet delivers results on par with my most efficient razors — provided you give it the time to teach you its cues. After a month of steady use, the Ares reveals its rhythm: no pressure, let the geometry do the work, and it will quietly erase stubble right to the base.

---

Performance in My Hands

Even in my most challenging area — below the chin, where hair grows in multiple directions and skin tension is tricky — the Ares holds its own. My barber’s advice to gently stretch the skin applies here, but the Ares’ smooth comb and controlled exposure mean I can work close without flirting with irritation or ingrown hairs. Alum feedback is minimal when I respect its limits.

---

Craftsmanship & Presentation

The Ares is not just a tool — it’s an object of beauty. The finish is unlike anything else in my collection, more akin to fine jewelry than a utilitarian razor. Every edge, every surface, feels considered and perfected. It arrives in a mahogany presentation box, accompanied by a handwritten note from the maker — a personal touch that speaks volumes about the ethos behind the product. This is not mass production; it’s the passion of a craftsman poured into each unit.

---

Blade Pairing

While I’ve run the Ares with my usual DE suspects — Feather, Bic, Personna Med Prep — its design makes them all perform at their best, to the point where differences blur. That’s a testament to the razor’s geometry and rigidity: it extracts the maximum from any quality blade without punishing the skin.

Review

A magnificent open comb razor,very effective but very gentle at the same time!!

Review

because of very good experience with Lambda Athena I also ordered the Ares. I really wanted to try if this razor with open comb would match me. In the past all open comb razors were not very comfortable for me, but this one did it. the Ares V2 Bronze was similar smooth like the Athena, really very efficent and smooth. For me only the weight was too much (the same I had at Athena, first owned a Bronze, later changed to a titanium satin). So I also will change to an Ares V2 Titanium Satin, matchin my also Titanium Athena. Really happy with Lambda. They also answer very fast to emails so it is a real pleisure. Thank you very much Theodoros!

Review

I loved the Athena so I purchased this as well. I will be running this razor when I have longer hair growth. Lambda as a whole produces incredibly high quality products. Glad I explored this line and I find them to be in the top best of the bunch and that is coming from someone who owns about 80 razors.

Review

Questo rasoio è un efficientissimo utensile con le sembianze di un gioiello. Speriamo che il suo creatore abbia in mente di produrre altri gioielli. Complimenti Lambda.

Like its sibling the mighty Athena Theo’s rendering of the open comb razor is simply superb and likely one of the best razors in the business (your mileage may vary). A true joy to use. Two passes with touch ups is BBS for me.
