Lovely handle.....Not seen that before either....I love the PAL Injectors. It would appear that there are few that know about these fantastic shavers....All the better, cause they are usually as Cheap as Chips....

Is it worth the hunt to pick up an adjustable?

I would suggest that a PAL Adjustable is indeed worth Hunting Down....
The PAL adjustable is an excellent shaving tool....An outstanding piece of engineering even by todays standards....It would appear that a lot of negative reviews on them have been unduly picked up and repeated in Forums without the person ever having used them and that's gave them a bad reputation.
There was a guy somewhere from another Forum said that he had handled over a hundred of them through buying and selling them and that he had Never Come across a Defective PAL Adjustable that hadn't been broken through User Misuse and or Damaged through getting knocked about .....He reckoned that a part of the reason that they never really caught on was because they were away ahead of their time and that the average citizen wasn't ready for them...
There are four settings on the Adjustable....There is No Gimmick here...The adjustable does what it says on the tin...It can be used as quite a mild daily shaver or turned into a serious two pass BBS shaving tool at the touch of a button.....I have never had mine on the most aggressive setting....I have never found the need.....When you pump up the volume .......these are "Not Pussy Cats".....
I prefer Chinese Schick Injector Blades in all my PAL Injectors....The Pal Adjustable/Chinese Schick Blade Combo in my humble opinion is a serious Whisker Whacking Machine that is hard to fault.....

Billy That sounds like the same case for MWF. The "hard to lather" myth is just nonsense. These myths can really get carried away.

Absolutely.....
I dismissed the PAL Adjustable out of hand, because of all of that, until I came across a thread where this Guy from the USA was prodding at some of the PAL Injector comments that were being made.....I must say he went to town and took no prisoners and caught a few of them out.....I decided to acquire one after that and I am seriously impressed with it....Its not my favourite razor, but if I was left with one razor for life.....I would pick The PAL Adjustable without any hesitation as it does everything that I need from one razor in terms of being Mild to Aggressive.....

Well, I suppose its a bit like my experience with weapons....There are some weapon's that are more suitable for a specific job....I mean I always liked the M16 assault rife because it is light and very usable on automatic compared to say an AK 47, but if I had to pick one weapon that I had to depend on for the rest of my life it would be the AK 47 Assault Rifle because of its robust construction, stopping power and dependability ....I suppose I was thinking of the PAL adjustable in the same way.....A robust construction, whisker whacking power and dependability....... I suppose the Old Marine way of thinking never dies......

My new PAL is here, my new PAL is here!....The Injecto-matic has arrived...I didn't really buy into all the hype about the PAL Injecto-matic being the Schick Buster, and all the super duper raves its been getting...I now see they were all deserved and then some....If it continues to shave like this, this will be my favorite injector....Maybe my desert island razor...And she's not bad on the eyes either... I would say, as aggressive as my E but far smoother.....The only injector I know that can shave as good as my ER 1914...and thats saying sumpthin...If she keeps this up....she may take the crown here in my shave cave......I'm smitten!
