First Shave with the EJ 3one6.​

Firstly I would like to offer a huge 'Thank You' to the most kind and unbelievably generous @AlterEgo

As I have never shaved with a Stainless Steel Razor, I was looking forward to giving the above razor a whirl.
However after reading somewhat mixed reviews online, regarding its blade feel and to some, it's aggressiveness, I was approaching it with some caution and respectful fear.
Getting into the shave this evening I started with a warm wash, whipped up some of the delightful Menrock black Pomegranate cream and held a warm cloth around my face for a few seconds.
After applying a generous amount of lather to my cheeks, I set about the first pass.
With an ever so light approach, I stroked the razor across my face. Could I feel the blade? Yes, but not as much as I was expecting. But I hadn't got to that tricky part of my chin, the part that so often gets a nick or a slice when you least expect it. Well by the end of the first pass I had no war wounds. This little razor seemed to have a bark worse than its bite. I lathered up for the second pass XTG, and even added slightly more pressure and speed. Again an injury free pass and a lovely close shave. Even a little ATG pick up on the neck and under the chin had no ramifications.
So I thought, well it must have left some after burn surly. Out with the alum and only the neck and chin revealed any feedback.

Now granted, I was only using a mild Astra Green blade (first use) but I did expect it to put up a little more fight. I was pleasantly surprised.

Yes it's more aggressive in feeling to say my Gillette Slim Adjustable set on 5 (my normal go to) but not anything I would be afraid to use again.

I finished off with a splash of cold water and a good dashing of Nivea post shave Balm.

A delightful evening shave.

Sorry if I bored you all.

The 3one6 is a fantastic razor. Often overlooked. It's a very different shave to an 89 but a shave that I enjoy.
