It is a PAL Adjustable Injector Razor. Has a similiar look to the vintage personna's on the bay. Anyone seen or tried this one? Also, what do you think a fair price is?
I bought a nice one at a flea market a while back. It did not show any signs of use at all.
I used it for a few days, it is a good shaver, a little more aggressive overall compared to my M series Schick adjustable. I did find it harder to grip than the Schick, but that might just have to do with my style. I don't like triangular-sectioned handles very much.
I paid $5 for mine, I probably wouldn't spend much over $25 for a nice one.

Thanks. Excellent info. Yours is a show piece.
The modernism/futurism of those times is so much cooler than the designs we see in commercial products nowadays.
i´ve shaved with one of those, its meh... nither good or bad,
but its the most manly looking injector on the market, steel good.

I bought one when they became available and it served me well for many years. If the non-adjustable had been available I would have purchased it. The materials and construction I think were the best I have seen/used; too bad it isn't manufactured today. It may well have been far ahead of its time.
It looks brilliant! Anyone else got one they don't want? Its like something from Logan's Run.
I bought on of these in 1967 when they first came out. It was very expensive for the time. I paid 25 shillings for mine. That is £1.25. It doesn't sound much, but £15 a week was a good wage in those days. I seem to remember it didn't perform as well as the Gillette safety razor I used at the time. I don't remember what happened to it in the end.

I got one of these today from the bay. It has a metal piece broken off in the head. So far seller is refusing to believe me and denying the whole thing. Hopefully I'll get a refund.
