PAL Injecto-Matic

Hi guys,

I've recently been bitten by the Injector bug, after being PIF'd a Schick G1. I have heard excellent things about the PAL Injecto-Matic and was wondering if they pop up very often on Fleabay? I see some for sale in the States, but I'm loath to pay postage that is the same/more than the cost of the razor!

Cheers,

James
 
Thanks for the info! Are they worth the £40? [emoji14]:D

It's very subjective. See what you think of the passaround one.
I personally love my Schick, and it is my no.1 razor. I didn't enjoy the PAL anywhere near as much, which surprised me as they are very similar looking when placed side-by-side. You might be completely opposite, and £40 would seem a bargain.

Which Schick are you using, and with what blades?
 
I have an E3 and an M1 adjustable.
I use Schick injector blades, and tried both Schick and Personna in both my E3 and the PAL.

I have 3 or 4 mint British Pal's, I haven't used one yet. To be honest a Schick Type L is so good, why try anything else? I am a collector so have an excuse to hoard and never use...

Which of the two razors gets the most use? Do you actually use anything else (for the most part)?
Where do you get the Schick (Chinese made I assume?) blades from? They are really pricey for those little packs of 7!

E3 is my most commonly used. M1 gets used when I fancy a change, but the additional bulk is noticeable compared to E3. The only benefit is if I'm going for BBS, the M1 is better under my chin when blade gap is increased.
Gillette Black Tip is my next most common.

I got my blades from a forum member, who was having a clear out. There are cheaper ones, like B-20, which get positive reviews. Problem is, you need an injector magazine from say the Chinese Schicks to use them.

Chinese Schicks can be bought on eBay from US vendors in multi buys of 5/6/7 etc.
One supplier has very low shipping fees. However, theoretically you could be caught by Customs and charged customs and Royal Mail handling fees. I thankfully wasn't caught, I can't recall if the seller was international shipping friendly, i.e. marked the sales cost less than £15.00 or equivalent in US dollars.

I had a really poor first shave with my recently acquired Instamatic, followed by an equally poor second shave. Blade was a new Dutch Platinium, which just wasn't very sharp. I'd be open to using B-20s but it's a hassle loading them into an injector. Haven't tried it, but just assuming....
