Very nice comparison. Ive been wet shaving for 3 years now. The de89 was on my list of the 3 or 4 i wanted to get to upgrade from the vander hagen which i purchased in the store. Ive always heard good things bout it. I like the sound of your soap to. I like a floral scent sometimes to my soap. One of my favorites is dapper doc by paa. Its a lilac and fig scented soap. Just beautiful. Again, great review you did. Thank you

Very interesting side-by-side comparison and a bit of surprise result for me. I've seen quite a few reviews of the 3one6 and consensus is it more aggressive than the DE89.

Nice comparison shave. However, as said before, for me personally the DE89 just so very slightly provides a better result. Just a tiny bit more in the efficiency sector, but then very likely different skin and hair growth types can alter the result. In your shave both razors performed kind of identical, so when being on a budget the DE89 would obviously be the one to go for. Have a great weekend.

Hi Tommy, it has been a good experiment to try this comparative shave. In this comments section, we've seen a variety of results from chaps that have both razors - I don't think there is much between them, whichever one is favoured. YMMV strikes again! 😀👍

Well that has foxed me I have a DE 89 and had been looking at the 3one6. Like yourself I had the impression the 3one6 was more efficient than the DE89. I have felt for a while if you do 3 passes and pickups you end up with the same result with most razors so generally most razors are a side step. If you only do 2 passes then a more aggressive razor may be beneficial. Enjoyed the comparison certainly made me wonder if it's worth spending £90 to get the same result. Keep well and keep safe.

Hi Leslie. I must admit, it completely threw me. The comments are showing a little variation in other fellows experiences, that have the 3ONE6 as more efficient, but over two shaves, swapping the blade between the razors, I couldn't tell the difference. I agree with your thoughts about side step, certainly these days, as there are so many choices. Take care of yourself 👍

Hi Mark you may remember I like your⁷self was surprised with your results regarding the DE89 VS 3ONE6. I had been considering buying a 3one6 but was put off by the long thin handle. Having given a lot of consideration to this I decided to go with the 3D as my DE89 has the long handle it came in their starter kit. But as time has past I prefer a shorter handle. I personally think you have more control with the shorter handle and you get a better shave. Now that's something else for you to think about. Keep well and keep safe.

Never used both. What a shame 🙈 nice comparison! Thank you 😊

I've seen a couple of very different looking Merkur 34c razors lately; basically the same head and different handles. They look very good. They are not up on the Merkur site when last I looked.

I have to say that the soap you chose for today sounded sublime, Mark. I know that a lot of gents don't like floral scented soaps, or at least purport not to, but a well executed floral soap is a wonderful thing. The shave was a bostin one, for sure, and interesting in the outcome. My DE89 is easily one of my favourites and I had wondered fr some time how it would compare to the more upmarket version. You and your mum be safe and have a great weekend.

I’ll rest content with my DE89 after this. One small point: my DE89 is noisy, in a good way. It stands out among my razors in that regard. So when you said the 3ONE6 was louder, it surprised me. But then it seemed to me that the DE89 was louder on the ATG pass. I heard that rasping sound loud and clear. I really love that sound, but only on this one. Cheers!

Hey Warren. I'm loving my eBay special DE89, it's a great razor and a keeper, that's for sure. Be well mate.

Thanks for the video. I'm starting to realize after watching several videos that blade feel is directly related to the hair type and the razor. The 3one6 in its standard form gave me a horrendous amount of blade feel with lots of chatter, but my whiskers are made of titanium or tungsten (can't remember which). I modified my 3one6 by reducing the blade gap to about 0.6mm and bedded the blade at the top cap. It's better, but far from perfect. Nice looking though and good grip with that lovely handle..

The 3one6 baseplate has two 'rails' that clamp the blade. The corner is bevelled so I lapped about 10 thou " from each rail and then bedded the top plate with JB weld. The design as is allows the rails to act like a fulcrum as there is very little surface area clamping the blade and very little curvature to the blade putting it in tension. Not a great design IMO.@@FriendshipShaving

I got my DE89 back in 2011, but the chrome plating has finally started chipping away leaving behind a very brittle zinc alloy. I got a good 13 years out of it so no major complaints, I'd now like to get a solid stainless steel replacement that's a bit more aggressive/efficient - the search continues.

Hey, you did very well out of that razor, for the price. I do believe that the razor now has a brass head and guard. Good luck on your search.👍 The Rockwell 6S is very good, but the head is a little chunkier than the DE89.

Great side by side shave. A bit surprising. Like your initial thoughts, I thought 316 would be more efficient. Is it worth giving it another go with a top blade? Prob get same results. Have a good one! I think Kevy should try the same comparison shave if he hasn’t already.

Thanks for making this video. I have a DE89 and have been thinking of buying the 3ONE6. I wonder if you notice that there is a lot of wiggle in the blade alignment on your DE89 - on mine I have to carefully line the blade up each time as there is a lot of play for the blade to be cockeyed to one side or the other. I understand that the 3ONE6 is injection molded rather than being machined - I wonder if it has tighter tolerances than the DE89?

@FriendshipShaving

Hi. The 3ONE6 was borrowed, so I can't directly compare the two razors anymore, but I didn't notice an obvious difference between them, at the time. My DE89 has a very slight bit of play on the blade, but not so much that I have to adjust it; If I just pop the blade in, without thinking about it, it works out just fine. It would be quite interesting to email Edwin Jagger and see what their reply is. I'd be interested to know.

Interesting. Perhaps you might try this again but using De89 on the left and 316 on the right to see if any difference?

Comparison shaves are always fun. To me, the head design on the 316 reminds me of the 34C. I've seen comparisons between the DE89 and 34C that resulted in almost identical shaves. I'm curious if you think the 316 and 34C give similar results. I like my 34C but I still get my best shaves with my Rockwell 6S.

Fair enough. All the best Andrew.

I've had a DE89 for near on 20 years now, ever since I was 15. It performs as well as when new, but does have a small dent in one corner of the head when I dropped it once (doesn't affect shave) and the underside of the bottom piece of the head shows some pitting/chrome lifting now in spots (doesn't affect shave) Considering the age and price, brilliant razer! Maybe the 316 would last longer, but really, what's the point if even after 20 years the DE89 looks very good with only minor blemishes in the hardest worn spots? Plus the chrome on the DE89 looks nicer. I'll definitely be replacing it with another DE89, maybe a gold plated one this time or just another chrome one and keep this one as a spare.
