If you get a chance, could you let us know what the diameter off the handle is? I'd like to order a bullet razor stand for it. No one in England has received a dispatch notification yet, and the EJ website is saying all of the SS razors are OUT OF STOCK.Hello, I also posted this on Badger and Blade also:
I had my first shave with the all steel knurled Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 razor and it was a very good experience. No pixie dust and unicorn tears, but very good.
Like anything new some aspects will take some getting used to. My initial thought was that the handle was a bit thinner than I care for, but it isn't severe and I can see myself getting used to it easily.
The shave was very efficient and slightly more aggressive than my standard Edwin Jagger DE89. I got a couple of weepers with a Feather blade where I normally get none, maybe I will try a Gillette Yellow blade tomorrow.
More information forthcoming as I acquire more experience.
Per the EJ website the handle diameter is 11.85 mm. My hand held measuring confirms this number. I called it 12 mm which is plenty close to 11.85.If you get a chance, could you let us know what the diameter off the handle is? I'd like to order a bullet razor stand for it.

Aluminum or Stainless handle? Where did you take the measurement? I measured mine (aluminum, red) with a digital calipers and it was closer to 11 mm mid-handle--the little bottom cap at the base of the handle is slightly wider that's closer to 12 on my calipers.Per the EJ website the handle diameter is 11.85 mm.

BTW I posted a review yesterday with specs, pics, and impressions.

Day 2: Today I got two weepers and one bleeding nick on my first pass. I was not happy. This was using a Feather blade on its second shave. Normally I get very good, trouble free shaves with my DE89 so I am somewhat concerned with this 3one6. After the first pass I switched to a Gillette Yellow and finished the shave, but my confidence had already been shaken for this morning's shave. I hope and pray that tomorrow will be a better experience.
I am not knocking Edwin Jagger products, you'd have a fight on your hands if you tried to take my barley handle DE89, but this 3one6 may just be too aggressive for me. A fine razor, but maybe just not suitable for me.
I won't give up on the 3one6 after only two shaves, but it better connect pretty quickly. The DE89 and I hit it off right away and I was hoping for the same here.
I really don't want to sound discouraging because this razor may just be the best thing since sliced bread for many; I am just trying to report my initial user experiences.
I really want to like this razor so will give it some more time.
Peace from across the pond.
Donnie,Maybe try the razor with a blade with a bit less bite than a Feather or 7OC Yellow? IMO, they are two of the sharpest blades around for a razor that's supposed to be a bit more aggressive than a DE89 I'd recommend going for a blade that's on the smoother side of things, eg Gillette Platinum.
It sounds like a large number were manufactured and shipped internationally and those of us in the UK are getting them made as we order. I ordered mine on Monday and I've been told it will be manufactured and dispatched by Friday at the latest. They've probably put the 'out of stock' notifications up to prevent people waiting for weeks after placing an order. I quite like having it manufactured for me. Makes it quite personal in a way. Ignore the fact it's one of many if the same razor in the workshop!Sounds about correct. British company (presumably) and available everywhere except Britain.
