Balm - Proraso Red

A nice enough 1st pass with the Thiers, i may run this one through a refresh also?
As the Athena turned up yesterday i decided to give it a run out for the second pass. I loaded it with a Med prep for todays trial.
Right then, for me the razor in the hand is very comfortable, it may look heavy and cumbersome, however it is really nicely balanced and did not notice any real weightiness.
I completed an ATG pass and from the razor touching my skin i knew we were going to get along. For me it has the comfort of the Feather stainless DE razors without the small shave angle, it easily has the efficiency of the Blutt 86, the Masamune and to be honest any of the other modern razors i have used but in total comfort. The razor just glides over the skin.
A very comfortable BBS result from 2 passes finishing with a nice post shave routine.
I know i am a bit smitten with this razor at the moment, therefore, i will continue to give it a run out against others this week. So far i am well impressed.
The Athena really is a thing of beauty, today i noticed that the end of the top cap blade posts are also engraved with the Lambda Logo as are the ends of the baseplate, little touches of class. There has been a lot of work and thought put into this razor and all that just shines out when you see it in the flesh.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
