    Quite a bit more than the Schicks then!

    Yes. The PAL razors are much less common, plus the Adjustable is a stainless steel body and is adjustable. The only Schick similar to it is the M, which is also adjustable -- and equally expensive.

    Fair enough! The adustable PAL is cool looking, and the adjustable Schick was featured in James Bond... Both valid reasons for higher prices :D
    I can't find any for sale at reasonable prices here in the UK at this moment. I'll keep my eyes open on Fleabay and see what I can dig up!

    Thanks! It is pretty.
    I'm going through my blades now trying to decide which to use for tomorrow morning's shave.

    :drool: I'm curious to see if your experience mirrors mine concerning the aggressiveness/efficiency of the Dart.

    @jtface - Tell Andrew, @Linuxguile, what you are looking for and he can look. He has sources! Many of my razors came from his Andrew's Shave Shop. Great prices and shipping. He can hunt down some PAL razors for you if you're interested.

    I noticed an Injectomatic and an Adjustable on the bay yesterday. Decent prices. I've tried the PAL Adjustable on two extended trials and realized it's not a good razor for me. Tried the Injectomatic as well on a pass-around and had a hard time with it. My technique is probably better now, but why change things up when the Schick injectors and other SEs I have work so well?

    A Notebook 3.0 web-based app is under development and is scheduled for release in late Q4. The beta version is currently being tested, and it looks promising. Our Linux programmers have been working day and night to meet an aggressive deadline. Red Bull consumption at HQ is up by 75% as a result.

    If things go as planned, the phone app will be released in 2019. We have reason to believe that this will be a market disruptor. Just between you, me, and the fence post, you might want to pick up a few shares of Comrade Enterprises, LLC now. Can you spell E-A-S-Y S-T-R-E-E-T ? ;)

    What's the idea of the smaller numbers inside the larger ones? Oh I know, it's a message from Notebook saying "This is just to show you we ain't kiddin'"

    Razor: Schick G
    Blade: Personna PTFE (2nd use)
    Brush: Ever Ready w/ 24mm Tuxedo knot
    Soap: Palmolive
    Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive

    2 and 1/2 passes has yielded yet another superb shave from the Schick G w/ Personna blade! Near BBS yet again. Palmolive is the real deal for me and my face!
