Closed ***Ended*** Pass Around: Schick Adjustable Injector ***Ended***

@Bazwalk2 I am extremely grateful and have said so in PM and offered to pay for the razor!Please don't jump to conclusions. I am away from home and if any package has arrived it would have been signed for by my parents. I live with them. I have not received anything yet! If you have included blades I am doubly grateful thank you!!! I will get it when I come home on Friday so it is something to look forward to!

I know it is easy to lose ones faith in humanity these days but I think most people here who I have had dealings with would say I am one of the good guys and always polite and thankful :) As an aside the adjustable I bought off ebay is probably not broken after all as it is the same blade gaps as another I have seen online sorry. They seem to vary a bit. I am passing it on gratis as well to a chap here so PIF is in full swing!

Yes they are and I am gradually getting used to this too. I find a three pass shave on setting 4 is more than enough for my face and setting it at 5 is enough for a one downward pass on my neck to avoid irritation. This is using the Schick blade. Is this blade better than the Personnas do you reckon? It seems they are only available from US Amazon now: the schicks that is.

I've used the razor a few times now, and here are some thoughts. It's the first time I've used any kind of SE razor, let alone an injector, so was concerned about whether there would be a learning curve. Not so - it's a very intuitive razor to use; I got the angles straight away, and it's much more manoeuvrable than a DE with the slimmer head. I found it helped to put a bit of pressure on the razor head, as that felt necessary for such a lightweight razor.

The main issue for me is the closeness of the shave. The first was at just under 4 and was extremely smooth, but by the evening I had to shave again - something I very rarely do. I've since been using it on max and the shaves are OK, but not stellar. I'd put it on or just above the same level as my SuperSpeeds, which are my mildest DEs, but below my preferred open combs such as the Fatip Piccolo. In fairness, I should say that it performs better than all my razors in dealing with the bit right under the jawline where the hairs are the toughest and hardest to reach properly! So while it may not be my go-to razor, it could be ideal for touch-ups in difficult areas such as this.

This leaves me with one question: how mild/assertive are the non-adjustable injectors? I might be tempted to look for one if some of the models are towards the assertive end of the spectrum, but not if they're regarded as mild shavers.

Anyway, @riverrun and @Steve Bowles , thank you for your generosity and giving me the opportunity to have a try with the razor. Please advise what you would like to do next, as I don't see anyone else on the list. I can clean it up and hang on to it to forward when someone else wants a go, or return it to you. If the latter, PM me an address and I'll get it on its way.

Thanks again!

If you want assertive get an E2, or down a notch the PAL Injecto-matic. If it's efficiency you want an I1 with Twins is also a winner.
