3one6 ordered

The pre-launch reviews were done by US Youtubers, despite British reviewers have their main audience in the US. But the first review was done by Kensurfs, who's English born and big anglophile. So there is some thought put into this, me thinks.

My guess is that this SS EJ is commissioned project by the US division (Gail Wells) where all the rage over SS razors is. It probably is a US thing altogether.
 
I don't understand why they give them to YouTubers who shave once or twice a week when they could reach more genuine potential customers with a few pass around razors on a few forums.
It's a cheap marketing solution.
I suspect EJ are going for alimited release with one or two large distributors first, to test the water so to speak. If there are problems with the 316 it will be cheaper to deal with a few disributors rather than a global distribution network.
Something in what you say. There is a lot of stainless razor manufacturers out there all trying to grab a share of a limited market. This must a limited first production run to see what traction their product gets. This razor will either be a corker or a failure; there will be a Mk2 along the line. The initial price seems too high.
 
It's just gone live in UK

 
I just couldn't help myself.....oh how weak, how terribly weak I am!

I reckon the head shape looks more 34c than DE89L but since I feel the latter was perhaps a development of the former, either will do me although its obviously a new development. I'm not getting along with my new Mamba 70 although I do love the Radio Knob handle of the original so have really high hopes for this British beauty. I personally love the knurled handle and the simple yet classy, understated but refined, practical looks. I have to add, the reply from EJ was most gracious and clearly explains things. Britain is undoubtedly playing catch up but heck, least we've got skin in the game now.

Oh dear, bitten by RAD again.

I too am a weak man and have just ordered one! I'm guessing though that this is probably the only place that understands the need to keep buying razors despite having fifteen already! My name is Richard and I need help.......
