I’ve been using the Lambda Athena for two weeks. I’ve formed a solid impression of it and I really loved using it. It’s my new favorite.
I had never owned a bronze safety razor before. It worked very well with my skin — I was worried it might cause irritation or an allergic reaction. With its polished surface, it glides smoothly while shaving.
The head design feels like a balance between an open comb and a closed comb. Mr. Theodoros has achieved a very nice balance.
The craftsmanship is top-tier. It’s hard to describe — it really needs to be seen in person. With its box and documentation, the presentation gives a premium feeling.
I don’t want to compare it with other razors — this is a very special piece. With its smooth cutting character, it can even be used daily. It’s gentle but effective on the face — it doesn’t feel aggressive, it cuts and glides.
A very well-balanced safety razor. You feel its presence, but it’s not tiring or overly heavy.
You’ve done something truly special. I really loved this razor. Thank you.
La mejor maquinilla que he utilizado, apura mucho con una suavidad sorprendente
Lambda Razors Athena is perfect!
A gorgeous razor with exceptional performance. So mild and smooth, yet so efficient. Unlike any other razor I have owned. The design is fantastic. The flared end of the handle is a perfect resting spot for my little finger. Very nice weight that takes care of business with almost no pressure applied. Theo provides first-class customer service. Great communication. You will not regret purchasing this razor.
As the title says. And the customer support is superb. If you are looking for a DE razor, look no further. Get an Athena
This was just to bring my bronze Athena up to V2, although it really makes only a small cosmetic difference (rounded smooth corners on V2). The shave is not significantly changed. I am just a bit OCD regarding my favorite razors.
The most impressive piece of art, very intuitive nice and smooth shaving experience, highly recommended for sensitive skin, mild - medium operation wonderful DE safety razor. But for me I have only one small issue - weight. Definitely brass option is a little bit to heavy I would rather stay with Titanium
I’m waiting patiently for a chance to order this beautiful piece with Ares Ti option
Really good job Guys, I wish You all the best and hope to hear You soon again
Best regards

I was looking for a razor that was both effective and gentle enough for daily use. I had heard about the Athena and decided to take the risk.
I was on several waiting lists, and the bronze version was the first to become available. Its lower price compared to other materials also made it a more conservative purchase, especially since I wasn’t exactly sure what I was buying.
I must say, the razor surprised me: the feel is excellent, as is the balance. The shave is deep without being irritating or overly aggressive, and the razor glides on its own—you don't even need to be fully awake when shaving.
It handles blades from various brands with no issue, which wasn’t always the case with other razors I’ve used.
The finish is perfect and very well-crafted, as is the packaging.
The razor is quite large, so it may feel a bit heavy for some users—especially in the bronze version.
I do somewhat miss having a proper stand: the handle has a wider bottom and, while it’s not difficult to find balance, a bit of care is always needed.
The water flow inside the head isn’t very high, so lather tends to get stuck a bit during rinsing.
Between the handle and the head, there's a plastic washer that helps preserve the fit and prevents scratching. Unfortunately, there’s only one included in the package. It could be easily lost, and while it’s not an essential part, it would have been nice to have a few spares included in the case.
In any case, I think it's an excellent razor and a fine piece of craftsmanship.
