I have both razors, recently acquired. My early impression is that the EJ 3one6 is more aggressive than the GC.84Maybe someone else will be able to answer as I have never had a GC .84.

Snowman,Couple more shaves with the Feather...outstanding results.
I initially purchased the all steel knurled 3ONE6 but didn't get along with it for some reason. However, I did finally pick up a black anodized 3ONE3 and it has been stellar for me. Go figure.
So far I like the Astra SP the best in it with the Red Israeli and Gillette Yellows a close tie for second. It goes to show that different razors like different blades as I used to dislike the Astra SP but now it is pretty much my go to for this 3ONE6. Nevertheless, there are more blades to try so this should be interesting. I know some have had good luck with the Feather in the 3ONE6 but not me, though I like the Feather in my Edwin Jagger DE89 so they still have a home.
I agree that the ridges on the safety bar add a nice little extra to the shave.
Snowman,I tried 2 more GSB blades in the 3ONE6 and neither was as smooth as the Feather, Astra, or Shark.
Snowman,
FWIW I shaved this morning using the 3ONE6 with a Gillette Silver-Blue Blade and got an outstanding shave. I definitely liked it better than the Gillette Yellow in this razor and I would dare say that I would put it on par with the Astra SP.
I wonder why the difference in experiences? Stuff happens I guess.
I lathered with DR Harris Almond soap if that info is of any value.
English Shaving Company is great! I'm sure you'll receive it sooner than you might expect. They seem to have this international shipping thing down pretty well. Charolette is great on customer service too!Just ordered one in Red from the English Shaving Co. Not sure how long the trip across the pond will take but eager to give this one a try.
I received my 3one6 today. 6 days from order to delivery in Ohio, I’m impressed. My first impression when I opened the box was Wow it’s tiny but it feels good in my hands. I popped a Feather in it and lathered up with the EJ sample soap they sent. This razor really tames the feather blade. I got a very nice 3 pass BBS. Going to use this against some of my regulars but first impression is better than the Rocca, and slightly more efficient than GC .84
the price is too high, I would like to buy the head only, any idea where ?
