    Razor: PAL Adjustable (middle setting)
    Blade: Chinese Schick Injector
    Brush: Maggard 24mm
    Soap: Stirling Gentleman
    Post: Cold Water splash, Alum

    Last night I had my first shave with the PAL adjustable. Unlike Chris, I decided to start middle of the road instead of fully open. After spending a couple minuted getting the angle right, everything went pretty smoothly. I did not find the PAL to be as comfortable to use as the Schick Adjustable. The Schick just seemed to fit my hand better and allow me better control while shaving. Will see how things develop with this one as it gets some use. The end result of the shave was near BBS with only minor irritation that was due to bad angle and too much pressure. I may try it wide open at H next and see if that forces me to be more gentle as Chris talked about in his post. After my wonderful experience with the Schick Adjustable, I really wanted to like this one. I will definitely give it some more use to see if the PAL and I can get along a little better.

    Sorry for no pics, will try to update later today.

    Give it time, I thought the same thing initially, but the PAL won me over. By the smallest of margins, mind you.

    A few more shaves with the PAL under my belt. Been bouncing around some settings. Did another with it on the middle seeing to see if the first was a fluke. Still not a bad shave but not a great one either. Ended DFS but still with minor irritation most likely from pressing. Moved it up to the H to give it a shot. Ended BBS but still too much irritation to make me happy. The alum didn't light me on fire but it was definitely noticeable. I will probably give it a few more shaves this week and then at the ends of the week pass it along.

    Sounds like the position right before H might be the ticket. :cool:

    That is where I am headed for this next shave. Then I plan to switch to a different blade. Really want to like this one because it is a very cool looking razor. Giving it a few more shaves before I pass it along.

    Hey Karl, just clean it with dish soap and water?

    That's what I use. Near boiling water and liquid dish soap. Let soak 20 to 30 minutes. Scrub with a tooth brush. Repeat as often as you like. Use some toothpaste if there is something stubborn. That's it. :happy088:

    Hey @wmbjr, how is it going? Have you broken out of the food coma yet? :happy102:

    How did the different setting work for you? :signs002:
