The next few days are going to be fun!
Wow! Stunning pair. Congrats! My Athena is on the way and has already passed through Customs in the USA, but I don't yet have an estimated delivery date.
Just arrived? I guess that means we’ll have a new group of Lambda owners in the coming days. It will be especially interesting to see your thoughts about how the Athena and Ares compare. I hope you will enjoy them both, in any case.
Yes - arrived a few hours ago. Very much looking forward to getting to know these beauties

I’m in a similar spot. Looking forward to its arrival.
Awesome!!
First outing with the Athena went as well as could possibly be expected. Angle was natural, comfort was as good as it gets - think ASD2 comfort but with much better efficiency…
How???
This could be a daily shavers best friend
First impressions strong, and very noteworthy, more to come ….

I can’t imagine there could be any issue with your Overlander. I’ve never heard of a defect on a Karve. Good luck with the shave and I hope you get the upper hand over your nemeses (Overlander and Kai) this time. I decided to shave just now with the greatest razor ever made (I won’t say what it...

I’ve had my Athena for a short while now. It is a very good shaver. I don’t know if it’s quite as effortless (thought-free?) as my Tatara, but it is very nice. Also, I’m still trying out blades to see if a particular one stands out. I have been disassembling it and wiping it down after each use, but I do see the very beginnings of patina in a couple of spots. I’m debating on seeing how the patina develops and how it looks before polishing it away.

Darn! I'm not really into Patina and always wipe down my razors. I guess I will have to up my game on after service care. lol
I'm definitely looking forward to having this razor. It wounds right up my alley.

I've had my Athena for over 6 months now and it looks the same as new. I disassemble all my razors and wipe them down with a microfiber towel after each use.
Same with mine.
Question to you gents with the Athena. Do you keep the razor in the box provided by Theo, or do you keep out in the open air after your shave? Thanks again fellows.
I keep mine in the box, but I leave the lid open for a few hours just in case the razor or blade are still damp. This has been fine so far.
I have mine open.. displayed on the top of my chest of drawers in our master bedroom
I know the box is beautiful closed... but the box and the razor together. with the box open.. so lovely.
It looks like an heirloom to me.

Words merely diminish the beauty shown in the photos above. The photo below illustrates the blade exposure, slightly negative, perhaps 0.001 inches (for reference, the blade is 0.004 inches thick). The loaded blade is a 1974 Gillette Super Stainless-The Spoiler with one shave under its belt already, which will be the first blade I try in this beauty.
