Hey Matt- Coming from a DE89 I feel this razor shaves way more efficient than my DE89. It is a little more aggressive but I find I get less irritation since I do not have to go over my face as often. It just shaves more closer with less passes. I use the astra green blades and having sensitive skin it is the perfect combination for sensitive prone skin. I love it.
Glad to hear! Next I may do a side by side show down so that I can compare in real time rather than from memory. Glad you're loving it!
I concur with the efficiency-passes factor, there is definitely a sweet spot for everyone. Astra SPs are great blades too, first and only ones I’ve picked up in bulk so far.
Thank you very much for demonstrating this razor. It is a real learning experience for me: not only do I get an idea of the razor's features, I also learn technique from watching you shave. This is great training for me.
Great review Matt! My first Safety Razor was the DE89 and I still use it regularly in my rotation. EJ makes high quality razors and this would be no exception. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the review, Matt. I must say, I feel like I’ve seen enough of your shaves to know your grain map as well as I know my own, these days!
Just got my red handle 3 one 6 in Saturday and shaved with it Sunday. It is a good shave. Love the Feather blades. I used PAA Meta Nectar Crown King formula. Very smooth and comfortable shave. Thank you Matt to you and your team for getting that out to me.
More fodder for my razor avarice but since I am a pauper; I will have to enjoy vicariously through your experience.
Just received my 3one6 with a knurled handle (to replace my DE89). It. Is. Magnificent! Incredible craftsmanship! Can't wait to shave tomorrow morning! Thank you Razor Emporium.
I've never used a DE razor before but I'm tired of buying cartridges and struggling with clogging the blades. I just ordered myself the 3ONE6 razor after much research on DE razors. As a machinist and mold maker myself, I can really appreciate the quality of materials and craftsmanship that goes into a product like this. It's the reason I'm willing to spend the extra money for a premium piece.
Thanks for the reviews. It's been a great help.
That is what started me using double edge razors: the cost of shaving cartridges is ridiculously high. It got me so angry to spend a significant amount on cartridges, even when bought from Costco or similar stores.
Awesome video. 😁👍🏼 I like the red and blue handle. I had to look up why they called it 3ONE6. Pretty creative on they’re part. 😎👌🏼👍🏼
I've owned around 30 DE razors and the 3one6 with knurled handle is my daily driver. I even bought a spare 3one6.
Me too 😂
@danield6815 Just incase it doesn't last a lifetime!
I've had a 34c for 3 years now, I use non-aggressive blades like a Parker etc. how would you compare this razor to my 34c? Would it be a good step up. My only complaint with the 34C. I have stripped two head threads
@@tugboat8475 I sold my 34C as it seemed a pretty average clunky chrome thing and I prefer the medical grade precision of the 3one6. Still if you are happy with the 34C then maybe keep going with it? I find my 3one6 works best with Tiger blades for a close mild cut and almost impossible to cut myself. I find with Astra SP or Gillette Platinum then I get occasional cuts and burn in this and other razors. As a budget option it also works well with Silver Stars but they need replacing every couple of shaves whereas a Tiger might last twice as long. Happy shaving.
Great shave Matt. I bought this model from Razor Emporium after watching your review. It's a fantastic shaver for those days when I have to rush through a shave and can't use a straight razor. But hey I can always feel less guilty by saying that I shaved with a modern sheffield steel razor ! Thanks for the wonderful videos, reviews, products and services.
Thanks for the review - certainly looking forward to the 3 one 6 becoming more widely available.
Oh I really enjoy your videos and learning about new products! Thanks!👍
Very cool that you approve the EJ 3ONE6 by your great full review. This razor can be easily one’s daily driver. Super sharp looking and absolutely easy to use in cruise control. Thanks Matt, great video.
TheLchr agreed.
Thanks :)
Hi Matt- Nice shave and razor review; thank you! Seems like a great new razor to check-out! Hope your week is off to a great start and all the best!
Mike H it’s worth checking out, I’m glad I did.
Just got my 3one6 with blue handle I love it wow this is a Sleeper that no one pay attention to it, Fantastic shaver no nicks or cuts amazing results 💈🪒👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Finish is beautiful I truly love well made and Quality is there that’s for sure.
Your review you nailed it on all Matt..
Alan H
Hey Alan! On the off chance you see this, how’s your 3one6 holding up? I’m curious how they hold up over time.
Just bought this razor from your website! I love your channel, and you are the reason I’m getting into de shaving!
Thank you!
I am thinking of ordering my first safty razor, and I think this model is the right choice. Thanks
How did you like it?
I have it in blue. Yes it is a good choice. You will have a permanent razor right out of the box. It is medium to me. I use a milder blade personally to tone it to my likeness. 20 % off sales are common. See a sale then pull the proverbial trigger. Best regards Ron Eastman
I’ve had it for about a week now. I really enjoy using this razor. I use it every morning with feather blades so far but I do have other blades I will be trying as well.
Nice review. I have put this razor on my wish list. My previous comment stated the razor was too expensive. But I was wrong and thought the price was $175 . I have DE 89 and love it.
Excellent review. I would certainly take one if someone gave me one, but I seem to be on a single edge kick since last November. Beautiful razor though. Cold water and one pass, huh? I've been doing cold water shaves for about five years now. I do two pass shaves, but I have been tempted to stop with one on many occasions. You have inspired me to do some one pass shaves. Thanks again.
I use this one and I love it!! Best razor ever.
Thanks for sharing, looks like a great new addition to the Edwin Jagger line. I’ll have to consider it since I’d like to get a stainless steel razor at some point.
Interesting review, Matt. I like my DE89 a lot for its mild and comfortable shaves. Some say the 3-1-6 is between medium and aggressive, which sets it out of my range of preference. Stainless steel is certainly a great improvement, the razor looks classy, nice choice of colours and finishes, but the price is debatable.
Wonderfully efficient shave. You make it look so damn easy. If I didn't already have my Feather, I may have gone for this. Beautiful quality and outstanding customer service from E.J.
koosk he does doesn’t he 🤔😂. These pros are inspiring for sure.

I love my DE89, but this might be something in my scope for the very near future!
I bought this great razor. Good review. Always enjoy your videos Sir ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice review Matt!
Find it a bit over priced for what it is and considering the alternatives out there.
Can’t think of a good reason to choose the 3one6 in favor of others, for example a Rockwell 6S or a game changer with both plates.
It’s better than my 6s was (their blasted finish is not conducive to shaving), however not better than my Game Changer.
Hi Matt, great video as usual.
As the Edwin jagger de89 and Mühle R89 are basically the same razor (head), I am interested to know if the similarities continue between the 3one6 and the Mühle Rocca.
If u have the Rocca around would very much appreciate a comparison.
Hi Matt, thanks for the review. I tend to like the mid to higher tier stainless razors over the mass produced models primarily due to their feel and obvious quality, where does this one tend to fall?
Being cast stainless it is similar to Rockwell but I think better fit and finish. Maybe the closest comparison is Feather.
@@RazorEmporium Thank Matt.
Well done and I’ll need to contemplate it as my next DE
Another fine razor coming to market. Thanks, Zac
Very reasonably priced being made of stainless steel! I'm thinking about going stainless someday - probably the Rex Ambassador because of the adjustability and the fact it's a two-piece.
Kevin do it! The Rex is a great razor, and being able to adjust on the fly via dial for growth and for one’s neck is really helpful.
The Rex Ambassador is Amazing
Beautiful razor, might have to look into it.
Hey Matt, great video! This is Matt from Gilbert. Hopefully it was okay that I came into your shop today I don't know if you usually have walk-ins. Thanks for the information you gave me on the razors
Matthew Maddux no worries always happy to have walk ins and help.
Can someone please help me out here? I'm sick of buying cartridges and want to give DE shaving a go. I'd like to buy a nice razor that will last me a while. Preferably a butterfly opening and adjustable. Is the Gillette slim the way to go? Or do you gentlemen have another suggestion? Thanks.
GolfGod 1738 slim is a great all around choice for adjustable and butterfly.
@@RazorEmporium Thank you sir!
Great review Matt, thanks for sharing.
Awesome review. I think I"m down to either the 3one6 or the gamechanger for my next razor.
Joel Hardman both are great, for me it’s GC > 3one6, but it’s very close. Plus I could have two GCs for the cost of one 3one6. that said both will stay in my rotation.
compared to parker variant setting 3 .looking for a more solid less moving parts for head shaving or is the S6 really that good that noting beats it?
Both are good
Thank you, what a great review 👍 I have just purchased one, knurled handle like you have, online and can’t wait for it to arrive. All the places I tried in England were sold out, but I found one from a place in Spain. I have sensitive skin so may try the after shave balm you mention. Been shaving for the last ten years with a Murker 42C, the 1906 closed comb version, which has been great. But I thought I may try an upgrade to this Edwin Jägger model. I have tried many blades over ten years, Wilkinson Sword, Derby, Astra green box, Feather, Murker, but still can’t decide which I like best for my skin. Any ideas on what’s best for sensitive skin in this EJ razor?
Perma sharp
Great looking Razor by EJ nice review
Thanks Matt... Great info!
Nice review. Does it make sense owning both the 3one6 and DE89?
The DE89 is milder and not as close cutting i believe.
nice, didnt see this get released and was excited to see what you thought matt
So on the aluminum handled versions is the colored portion in the center of the handle the only aluminium part or is the entire handle aluminum? I just grabbed the blue one from your site and was just curious about that ...thanks
Luke Jodoin I think entire handle is aluminum
Nice review Matt. Feel better now that I'm upgrading from my current DE89 to this one
I have the De 89 and love it. Maybe I will consider this for a Christmas present this year. How would you compare it to a Rockwell 6S?
Smoother than a rockwell in terms of fit and finish - comparable to the 4 or 5 plate.
Concur with Matt, better smooth finish and performance (and more maneuverable) than the Rockwell 6s, in that R4-R5 (or 4.5 on the model T) efficiency range.
Looks like a quality piece. Did the bead blasted finish feel like a Rockwell 6S or was it smoother?
Smoother. I think the geometry is different which will make a bigger difference than finish.
Nice one Matt👍👍👍👍💈
Leaving comment for shirt
Hi Matt. Does EJ 3ONE6 use the same head as the Muehle Rocca? If yes, who's making them?
No
I'm new on wet shaving with DE razors, have the EJ DE89C, it's working good so far, maybe one day I'm going to get the EJ 30NE6, thanks for the review.
Good shave Matt!
Nice review and shave Matt💈💈 The aluminum handled versions are readily available, no so with the steel handle🤔they sold out quickly. I like TOBS sandalwood too👍
Terry M yeah, I went for the full stainless knurled handle myself when I saw it was available. Either would be good though I imagine, I just love knurling on my tool handles.
@@neokuji Nice score. Just something about stainless steel, we all like it.
Looks like it performed well.
Thanks for the video!! Sounds like you noticed it clogs up more than the EJ DE89. I guess they tried to improve on already a great classic the DE89, they should have just made that one out of molded steel instead of fiddling with a proven design and probably upping the price. I'll hold on to my 89's
Matt ward without the pre shave oils or proraso it doesn’t clogged up.. That being said I still prefer better the DE 89 (for me it is milder than the 3one6) so just like you I will still be holding on my 89!
@@paraguayito1979 EJ tried to re invent the wheel with this razor and increased the price. Good thing I owe 3 DE89's and 2 are still in the box. Never use pre shave oils, just proraso sens skin soap. Too bad that soap leaves so much residue on the razor after a weeks worth of use, wonder if all soaps are like that.
Matt ward nice! I also use the same soap, can’t beat the price and performance of a classic!
Matt ward a little more water in the soap and that issue does not present. Rinses fine for me.
Great review Matt looking handsome buddy
I want to get this razor as I love my EJDE89.. only thing is I love the 3D diamond handle on my EJDE89, super grippy and looks beautiful.
I’m wondering does this razor have the same thread so I could mix and match the head and handle?
Yes
Ive been wanting to try out a three piece razor
Nice razor thinking about buying one
The DE 89 is a great razor. Looking forward to getting a 3one6
Always enjoy your videos, I was curious whether Razor Emporium will be selling the stainless steel Karve razor when it comes out?
If he allows for wholesale vendors to buy them - I would certainly consider it! Great razors!
Does anyone know what stainless he’s using, 303, 304, 316? If it’s not 316 I’ll be passing on it.
Hi Matt I own a DE89L which I a very happy with but I keep looking at the 3one6. I must admit to wondering if I spend £80-00 on a 3one6 will I be taking a sideways step or is it going to be worth the expenditure.
Many Thanks for your time and trouble in making the video and would very much appreciated your opinion.
How many have you had returned with the handle coming apart. Seen that the handle is 3 pieces hollow tube glued together.
Great review
Sorry but not using both sides of a DE razor before rinsing it off just feels weird somehow, not saying that it's wrong though, to all their own after all.
$120. That's $20 more than the Rockwell 6s and $65 more than Italian Barber's game changer. Is that correct?
William Emil Celeiro $116 technically but yes
I found the DE89 too mild. My Gillette NEW long comb is my go-to along with an Astra SP. How does 3one6 compare to the Gillette?
It is the same as the 89 in my opinion....
Matt, I'm new to DE shaving and really appreciate the videos. Would you recommend the longer handle Edwin Jager (sorry cant remember the model number) or the Gillette Super Sport? Or should I just take the plunge and order the Made to order Slim Adjustable? I know you've said in a few of your videos that you have the EJ and the Slim Adjustable in your personal shave den.
A great razor especially for men with sensitive skin because it's actually very aggressive, so there's no need to repeat the strokes to achieve a baby-bum-smooth shave. Just one stroke and you're done.
Hi Matt. Would you consider the 316 a SS version of the DE89? Or does the 316 feel different? If so, in what ways? I really like my DE89, I just wish it were made of SS.
Sounds like it‘s a proppenvoll razor. But can it match the Rex Ambassador? I doubt it. But thanks for the Review. Enjoyable as always
It's crazy how similar I shave to you. Very similar produces, buffering and skin pulling, one pass comfort shave with cold water and I use a DE89 as my daily. Wondering if this is worth it or if I should save for something else. Looking for a nice fancy razor that still fits into that goldilocks zone like all EJ's do. Heard good things about the Parker Variant and Merkur Futur.
Great review!
I've never been able to shave comfortably with the DE89. It was the first DE razor I used and cut my lip pretty badly. I'm convinced it was due to lack of experience than the razor itself, but maybe the initial impression was enough to leave me with some kind of fear for it. I prefer a good old Superspeed 1000 times than a DE89. BTW, I imagine you had to refresh your lather at 4:23, didn't you? I was worried that after 4 minutes your lather would dry out. I believe you should get all your gear ready and lather just before starting.
Martin Shaves & Reviews maybe revisiting the DE89 is in order, if only to confirm. 🤔
@@neokuji I did a few months back, and still couldn't get it to shave comfortably. One of the reasons for my hesitation to use it again might be that I got it with the black smooth handle, and is so slippery, that it feels very unsafe. I might try it with another handle and see how it performs.
If you were to compare it to any of the "vintage" Gillettes as far as smooth and close shaving, which one does this compare to the closest.....Thanks. Nice vid as always.
Similar to a super speed or tech.
Thanks Matt is as mild as the DE89.
Great video 👌🏻
looks awesome!!
How does it compare to the timeless .68? I consider ej89 my worst razor and I stopped using it
Nice double edge and razor blade set. Awesome ! Nice review - Sir. I need to buy my set soon. 👍🏻👍🏻 🪒🪒🪒
Hey Matt- Would love to see a side by side comparison with a 3on6 vs. Rockwell 6c/s. Keep up the great work.
Since I have nothing technological to add, I'll just propose this issue for analysis: Chrome plated zamak razors will last a long time, and can have as good form, fit, and function as stainless steel razors, but are much, much, less expensive. Given this, wouldn't it be more cost effective to get a well performing inexpensive razor, take care of it, and replace it every decade or so, rather than buy a more expensive lifetime razor? Jus' askin.
Edward Miles I agree that a zamack razor - treated properly - can last a long time. But all too often we buy up old hoffritz / Coles razors from mid century that are completely ruined by corrosion.
@@RazorEmporium Zamak razors are fine. But I wouldn't like my razors to rust and break. My merkur started rusting and 4 uses. I still use it occasionally. Now I'm using a Slim adjustable and ATT Stainless steel.
Edward Miles I get your thinking. From my perspective replacement/refurbishing big picture may end up costing more than my initial one time investment in a stainless razor.
Nice razor but my Parker 94R shaves incredible for me.
I need one of those shirts lol!
So it's $120.00 for a Stainless Head and a Aluminium Handle ??
The one I reviewed is all stainless steel.
@@RazorEmporium Thanks for the reply 😊
I can't justify the cost as the DE89 work just fine. Also more expensive than a Rockwell 6S with a 5/6 plate if you want to splurge.
It’s a better razor than the Rockwell 6S though. I’ll be keeping the 3one6, the 6s didn’t stay.
@@neokuji That's subjective - to each their own.
It’s true though. That blast on the 6s just drags, unfortunately, and doesn’t look as nice while shaving with it.
Enrico Buscaroli also there’s something to be said about the weight and balance of stainless steel, not that other materials aren’t good too.
Cost wise there’s also the factor that plated razors need more care, may be more affected by drops, and may need refurbishing (which Razor Emporium does stellar work refurbishing). Big picture, the cost (and extra efforts) may end up being similar, or greater.
I can get the 34c for under 30 bucks delivered in US. Shaves great.
SAVE YOUR MONEY ITS ALL ABOUT THE PREP.
MIM vs CNC. Don’t think it’s a issue on none impact razors vs 1911 parts or good quality MIM parts like in a Mimber(Kimber)
I'm a little curious why you didn't use the feather blades that came with the razor? Although I think I might know why. Feather blades as I'm sure you know are scary stinking sharp compared to any other blade on the market that I'm aware of. I started traditional wet shaving with a Merkur 34C and feather blades. Smart way to learn? Maybe not. I learned double edge shaving by way of blood. Not terrible mind you but nicks along the way. I'm personally ok with that though. Feather blades don't irritate my face and some of the best lessons learned are those learned the hard way. I currently shave with a Rex Ambassador and feather blades. Talk about a learning curve. Setting on the razor and pressure definitely matter. Too much blade and too much pressure and blood is flowing unless you know the feel of the blade. I'm three shaves in on the new razor and still get a nick but definitely getting improvement. I love the results of the new razor.
Because I was reviewing the feather ASD2 not the blades.
@@RazorEmporium I understand that, as much was said in the video, but since the razor came with blades I would think that would be part of the review.
How does it compare with the Feather AS-D2?
Priced about $50 out of my league, but a very fine looking razor in deed.
100+ more like it.
69 would be a more realistic value for this razor indeed.
Great info! Just ordered one 👍🏼
BTW, does Razor Emporium post these vids at 3 a.m.?
Edward Miles lol it was scheduled for 5 am EST so that guys in nyc could wake up and watch it :)
Does a stainless steel slant razor exist at all? Anything like that made by any company?
How does this compared to Rockwell 6S Matte? Are you gonna review Stirling Soap Company's Stainless Razor too?
I have the Feather Stainless Steel razor. How does this compare? - Thanks
Very similar fit and finish - I think this is more efficient than the Feather.
I am buying one soon ! 🪒
Hello Mat. I almost bought this razor at the Big Shave. How would you compare this to the RK Ambassador I picked up?
It's a nice razor - to me it is like the Ambassador at 2.5 or maybe 3.
😂🤣
RazorEmporium hmm, to me it feels like Rex on 2 🤔🤓 🤷♂️
I wish there were more brass razors
