Blade: Wizamet
Brush: SV 2.0 Bamboo/Manchurian Badger
Soap: Ethos Bay Rum
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: Ethos Bay Rum SFS
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,709

Had to take a day off from the Legacy razor sincethis arrived. 1st shave in over a year with an Athena and SOOOO happy to have gotten one finally. I find it as mindless a shave as the my Polished Rockwell 6S on a 5 Plate. The sweet spot on the Athena is narrower but it gives an amazing close shave with ease. Have a great day Everyone !!

Thank you, Theo does beautiful work

I’m glad you were able to get an Athena, Dave. The head design with the slotted safety bar and the blade being clamped on top of the spines is quite a different approach from other razors. It seems to work by slicing as the hair falls into the slots. It works out to be surprisingly efficient but since the design doesn’t require any blade exposure and very little blade gap it is very gentle to the skin (although the gap is effectively variable because of the slots). Nobody ever believes that a razor with zero blade exposure and (nominally) just 0.3mm blade gap could be as efficient as this is. There’s actually very high efficiency possible with this razor once you find the optimal angle (as you say, the sweet spot is fairly narrow but I find the sound from the razor gives a good indication - go for the angle where the sound is loudest). I wonder if the water channels in the head serve to amplify the sound, since there’s a lot of aural feedback even though the blade is highly curved and clamped right at the edge.

At least that’s how I think it all works. It’s a fascinating razor design to me.

I suggest you hang on to this one. To my mind it is unique and ingenious, but also manufactured to an extremely high standard, yet still offered at a price only a fraction of what comparable quality razors are selling for (especially if you consider what the mahogany box must cost).

We keep banging on and on about how low this razor is priced...it's almost like we want to dare the guy to raise prices,
and prose like this gives him permission to do it. These guys do read this forum you know...even in Turkey and Greece.
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? Is this some strategy to raise the value of a razor acquired for relatively
less, so as to increase the resale value for those who purchased before any price increase?
Hmmm....I wonder (with my tinfoil hat on, of course)

Just my opinion...carry on..

Love the brush Dave, the bamboo handle is super sexy

Congrats Dave Dave in KY , for getting it in back in the Den. Tonights shave will follow . . . With the Athena! I’ll just put another handle on

Thanks, it's the first time purchase for me as it was a loaner before. Always look forward to the pics of your shaves.

FWIW I have never sold a razor. Hope that puts your mind at ease.
