Fortunately, my beard grows fast enough that I always have something to shave. I get a good 12-14 hour shave from the Athena, though.This is reposted from another thread I started on this forum.
Lambda Razors are making me so mad!
Ok, if you have been following the Lambda Athena and Ares threads, you know that I am a huge fan of both razors and the Lambda company. But now I am really ticked off with them.
I started wet shaving with DE razors about a year ago and went through many configurations of razors and blades. Finally, I found Lambda and it was Love at First Pass. I enjoyed shaving so much that I decided I wanted to shave every day. Well, that hope was dashed by these darn Lambda razors. I shaved the previous day with either the Ares or the Athena. The following morning I get up and get ready for the shave. I feel my face, with the grain, across the grain and against the grain. NOTHING, NOT A HINT OF STUBBLE. The darn Lambda took all of it off the prior day so efficiently and smoothly that there was NOTHING LEFT TO SHAVE the next day. How am I to shave every day with these kinds of results? I am fed up. I am going to talk to Theo and tell him that his razors are just too good. He needs to take them down a level so that I don't get as fantastic a shave every time I use them. I am really pissed off. I guess I will have to stick with every other day shaving. Darn that Theo at Lambda. He took all the fun out of my dreams of daily shaving.
Lol…glad my stubble grows quick enough for daily shaves with my Lamdas….or all my razors for that matter. Since picking up this “hobby” 15 years ago I look forward to my daily shaves.This is reposted from another thread I started on this forum.

That Oumo brush is stunning. Titanium? How is the weight for you?
Isn't it? It is my favorite brush. Yes, titanium, and with some real heft. Much like with heavy razors I can let the weight do the work.That Oumo brush is stunning. Titanium? How is the weight for you?
Well Oumo contacted me and told me that this brush with the titanium they use scratches easily. So I ended up buying this brush. I hope it arrives.Funny. I ordered the Oumo Ti I showed you and it was on sale. This morning I got a notice that it was the last handle of its kind but was in rough shape. they sent me a picture and the top was all scratched. They offered to sub a different handle which was, to me, very plain. I told them I wanted the Exceed 1 handle and they said it would require additional funds. They are to let me know tomorrow what that cost would be. What luck!View attachment 1853170
Nice! Don’t worry, it will arrive. Oumo is a good organisation and Carry is really a can-do guy and a real shaving enthusiast. I’ve only ever had positive experiences with them.Well Oumo contacted me and told me that this brush with the titanium they use scratches easily. So I ended up buying this brush. I hope it arrives.
