Excellent value and performance from this safety razor. This version is the only one I'd purchase, though, as the others have an aluminum handle. In my opinion, that really lowers the razor's overall value. This razor will last a lifetime. This being true means the minimum one-time expense is quite reasonable. I would recommend this razor to anyone that enjoys quality, durability, and longevity in the products they buy.

After 2 years of using a Merkur 23C, I decided to try something new. I've only used the 3ONE6 a few times, so the jury is still out. It is heavier (good), but also more aggressive and not sure its overall performance justifies the 4X cost increase verses my previous razor. I'm currently trying it with a Wilkinson blade, but will try with a Pol Silver next. Hopefully this will result in a more enjoyable shaving experience.
