    They look great.

    Are vintage PAL blades Carbon steel or Stainless steel? Would they be usable?

    Stupid question time??

    Are these "PAL" blades good for use and you bought them for that purpose? Or, are they "collectible" and were merely an addition to your collection?

    I'd forgotten about this brand.

    I'm not certain, but my research so far points to them being carbon steel. Either way, they can't be any worse for shaving than the Chinese Shick blades, which don't work nearly as well in Pal razors as they do in Shicks

    Interesting. I thought Chick blades were well regarded for PAL/Schick injectors?

    Not stupid at all. They are for use in my Pal razors as an alternative to the Chinese Shick blades, which work fine in my Shick razors, but not so well in the Pals.

    For me, the Chicks don't work as well in my Pal injector razors.

    One thing to keep in mind. The angle when using a PAL is different then a Schick (a little steeper). Schick blades work fine for me in my PAL razors.

    Thanks. I am aware of the difference and adjust for it. Shick head flat against the skin, Pal at more of an angle. I get great results with Chicks in the Shicks, but not so much in the Pals.
