Having the Bronze and SS I was curious to try the Titanium version
Due to the lighter weight it is easier to control.
It also seems a little milder because of de reduced weight but it does require at times for pressure to be added (which is easier to control because of its lighter weight)
it seems that this for me leads to an bit closer shave than with the SS and Bronze Versions.
it does change the feeling of the shave a bit (which seems to be a titanium thing)
it is a joy to use, and it is beautiful (just like the others)

So, almost four months later, after being added to the waiting list for the titanium Lambda Athena, today I became the first owner of the mirror polished Ti version.
The presentation is already familiar to me from my previous bronze Lambda Athena, a mahogany box with bronze hinges, and here the color is dark gray – graphite. A very stylish luxury performance. Absolutely the best razor presentation I’ve ever seen.
Each piece has a serial number and it is known to which customer it was sold. And the customer receives a booklet with instructions for use and maintenance, in which it is written by name that the particular shaver was made for him.
Regarding the razor itself, I don’t know if I will be able to find the right words to describe and convey as accurately as possible what I am holding in my hands.
Extremely precise craftsmanship, jewelry performance, attention to detail and overall finish. I look at her and try to find some kind of imperfection, but there just isn’t any. Everything is meticulously crafted, as can be expected given the experience I have with the bronze version.
However, here the material is grade 5 titanium (a high grade used in high technology, such as aviation) which means that due to its very high hardness, it is difficult to machine. These specs, however, clearly haven’t affected the quality and everything looks flawless.
Here comes the real reason I bought it. It’s not because of the stunning looks, but the way it shaves. This razor is not just a shiny object to leave somewhere and just enjoy it. Lambda Athena Ti is an extremely functional, practical, comfortable and very effective shaving tool.
The shave is really effective and very comfortable. It is like that with the bronze version, but with Ti it is something more, I would say luxurious and downright pampering.
It took me 2-3 shaves with the bronze Athena to realize that I could afford to change my technique, which became significantly more effective. With Athena, I can go straight across the hair – ATG, right after the first – WTG pass, skipping a cross pass – XTG, without it feeling rough. So, now I do one WTG and two ATGs (once in the direction of the hair and two counters). With every other razor I’ve tried, I have to XTG before ATG so it doesn’t feel harsh.
The strokes became, significantly longer, without me lifting the razor from my face. This also adds to the comfort because the short, energetic strokes actually overlap and mean multiple repetitions in the same area. I find that all of this, I can implement even more easily with the Ti version.
The titanium Athena has a slightly different bottom plate design than the bronze one I have. The corners are now cut without looking boringly rounded, on the contrary, the head looks better now in my opinion. The feedback is also a little different, I think the sound heard during shaving is more distinct, higher. The weight has also been significantly reduced, I don’t know exactly how much, but it seems half the weight of the bronze one. These specifications allow for much more agile movements, smoother touches, better maneuverability and easier access to difficult areas. In my opinion, the main reasons for the combination of comfort and efficiency are the ingeniously designed head and the extremely stable grip of the blade. I have never seen another razor that grips the blade so tightly, so close to the very edge. Thus, no parasitic oscillation occurs, which usually leads to irritation.
The end result of the shave is a quick, easy and uncompromising BBS.
I shave every two to three days, always aiming for the BBs, no matter what razor I use. Most of the time, I manage to do it with other razors, but sometimes at the cost of slight discomfort due to irritated skin. The Athena is the only razor I’ve tried that I don’t have to compromise on, BBS, at the expense of irritated skin. I always get a clean shave and I’m cool with that.
I know many people are wondering how this happens with such a small gap and neutral blade exposure. Well, I don’t know either. Apparently this is the engineering secret of the person behind this project.
