Well... thanks to a cool loan from a member on another forum, I now have a Personna injector to play with and I shaved with it this morning.
I had only seen photos of the Personna before and had imagined it to be very similar to the PAL adhustable, but I was mistaken!
Superficially they look almost identical but the Personna is smaller, lighter and has different head shape and geometry which is much closer to the Schicks.
Unlike the PAL, the angle was
very easy to find, though not Schick intuitive, and the shave was very mild indeed.
It shaves rather like my Schick J but not as efficiently or comfortably, and I came away with a very good result but one that my Schick J, L or M would have done so much better.
The PAL adjustable is erratic and fierce, whereas this Personna is just too timid.
They both look beautiful, but one's mad and the other one can't cook :)
ASR got it exactly right the first time with the Injectomatic which is a superb shaver and a worthy rival to the Schicks.
If only they had kept to this head geometry and innovated with handle design, we would have a great range of ASR injectors now.
Instead they experimented with the head designs and we ended up with this pretty nonsense which looks so good but shaves so unsatisfactorily.
It's a triumph of form over content.
