PAL Adjustable Injector

[spacemonkey42]

I had my first shave with my PAL adjustable injector. I was being careful, as it is unknown to me. I used the H-high setting for the first two passes, then dialed it back to the middle for the ATG. It went pretty well. It is a bit heavier than the vintage Schick razors I've been using since SEtember.

There isn't much talk about them here, anyone else shaving with one lately?

It's an interesting design, and it looks like the Parker injector is a copy of it. I would also be interested to hear the experiences of those who have used both of them.

On a different forum @Whiterook helped me learn that the Parker just looks like the PAL from the top, but the mechanicals of the Parker are a copy of the Schick Dial/Adjustable. The PAL is unique in that the safety bar goes in/out, not up/down.

I have one that I enjoy using. I recall a discussion years ago either here or on a different forum about what the L and H stand for. Is it Light and Heavy or Low and High?

Mine comes in rotation every few months. Here is the bottom view.

I’ve only had three shaves with the PAL and about 10 shaves with the Schick Adjustable, but I am starting to think that the PAL is smoother. What do you all think?

To me the Schick is a bit smoother.

To me the Schick is a tiny bit smoother.

One can get a good shave from either razor IMO. I find the PAL adjustable to feel similar in the hand to my Supply razors, but they are much heavier. The Schick seems more like a plastic toy to me being lighter. The PAL always looks like it want to get down to business, a more serious razor IMO.
