If the topcap posts went through the baseplate, it would obviate the side lather channels.
Some of the water would redirect there, and the handle would not stay dry and lather free.
At least that's what I think, but I'm not a real engineer; I just think like one.

I think so, but like the other model, the drops are very sporadic. For the Athena, only 50 were made so far.
I need to email the maker as i don't have a clue where my package is. I will also ask him when he is planning to release more razors, especially the Ares model.

Oh is yours missing during shipping, if that's the situation, I sure hope it appears.
Hopefully he makes more, they sound really good.

1st use Feather
First run was amazing. 4 days growth. I ran it on a steep angle. Plenty of blade feel, it feels like a 94OC WR1 to me. Skin feels like it cut much closer tho, say a 145/155 WR2. Time will tell. I should still be smooth when I wake in 17hrs.
Lather does shoot out the ends of the head and it work very, very well. I cold water shave and went out of my way to try and clog it but was unable to. Rinsing under a running stream straight down the teeth is the key. The cool thing about lather flow is that there really is no lather transfered to the primary grip. Grip stays clean and positive. Smart idea, expertly executed in my opinion.
The detail and craftsmanship of the razor is top notch. Well branded yet subtle. You likely would miss it at first glance.
Just my first use but we really clicked. Athena is gonna be a great addition to the den.

Excellent razor all around. Super stoked to have this one and look forward to playing with it some more.
A few months ago I sold my last .94mm WR1 and got back on the list to replace it. I have bugged DuFour for a 1.02mm for years. I no longer feel the need.

Great...always good to know the 'why' behind how things are designed.
Makes sense.
BTW, there was some talk of the being a mild razor....1.45/1.55 territory is hardly mild.
Hows the smoothness?

It has blade feel like a 94 and just as smooth.
