Lambda Ares v2 – Bronze
Description
Lambda Ares v2 - Bronze
The classic Lambda open-comb
Lambda Ares v2 is our second model released in late 2021. The original Lambda Ares has been redesigned and now there is a final version called Lambda Ares v2. It is an open-comb razor type. As part of the standard package, the razor comes with a mirror polished finish and a luxurious solid mahogany case. While the original Ares was effective but quite aggressive, Ares v2 has kept the effectiveness but has been refined to a mild to medium aggressive razor.
Why "Ares" ?
Ares (Ancient Greek: ‘Aρης, Árēs) is the Greek god of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent towards him. He embodies the physical valor necessary for success in war but can also personify sheer brutality and bloodlust, in contrast to his sister, the armored Athena, whose martial functions include military strategy and generalship. An association with Ares endows places, objects, and other deities with a savage, dangerous, or militarized quality.
The character of our razor was influenced by the god Ares. The original Ares was a razor that was both aggressive and extremely efficient. We have launched a new version of the original design, ‘Ares v2’, which is both efficient and smooth at the same time.
Head Design
Ares v2 head is quite traditional but with some interesting features and meticulous design. We tried to achieve the perfect balance between smoothness and efficiency.
Edge-to-Edge Clamping, eliminates blade chatter, improves efficiency
Neutral Blade Exposure
Minimal Blade Gap
Handle Design
Ancient Greek architecture’s Doric order columns served as inspiration for the design of the handle. It exudes elegance and sophistication.
Material
We use a special bronze alloy for Ares v2, which exhibits excellent corrosion resistance for this type of material. It is widely used in marine applications and is highly expensive. It is a few times more expensive than 316 stainless steel! However, it will need some care in order to maintain its great mirror finish over time, as it will develop a slight patina if left in humid environments. With proper care, it will maintain its original finish effortlessly.
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
We assign a unique serial number to each of our razors. It is positioned below the surface of the bottom plate. The format of the serial numbers is as follows:
xx-yyy
where xx represents the year of manufacture and yyy represents the sequential number, starting from 001 for the first batch of that year.
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 is the only safety razor manufacturer offering such a luxurious and elegant packaging. Our philosophy is to offer a meticulously crafted, collectable item, which will be with you for many years. And what better way to present a special and unique item than “dressing” it with the best “clothing” out there?
Lambda Athena comes as standard with a high quality, perfectly crafted wooden case made of solid African mahogany wood.* It is designed in 3D CAD software and manufactured to tight tolerances.
The two pieces of the case are shaped on CNC machines with special recesses inside them so the razor can fit tightly inside without moving when the case is closed. Additionally we are using a special beige color, suede-like fabric on the case recesses, so the razor will sit safely inside without any damage danger for the razor or the box itself.
The two pieces of the wooden case are connected together by a pair of bronze hinges.
The box also features a set of magnets embedded on the wood, so the top cap stays closed, a very useful feature while traveling.
On the top cap, you will find our logo engraved, as well as the model “symbol” on the front side. On the bottom there is an engraving of our website.
* We made a long research to use a material that would be elegant looking and matching the character of the razor. For our bronze razors, we have chosen a special wood, the African mahogany wood, which add a luxury note to the whole product. Below you can read a short description of the wood and it’s specifications.
“Depending on its origin, growth conditions and specific strain (“African Mahogany” encompasses four different Khaya species), it color can range from a pale pink or muted orange, to a somewhat darker reddish- or golden-brown. It can also have darker striping, and, aesthetically, it can be further enhanced through figuring (ribbon; wavy diagonal; mottled) and varying levels of chatoyance.
Its grains are typically either straight or interlocked. It works, turns and finishes easily, and beautifully, although boards which feature interlocked grains can occasionally pose tearout issues when planing, joining or resawing.”
