Schick Injector Aggressiveness

Hello, gentlemen!

My L1 Schick Injector is too mild for my beard. More recently I found an M1 that shaves quite well when opened up.

Are any other injector models more aggressive than the L-type?

I can't speak about many of the Schicks, but I experienced the same concerns about aggressiveness, and it seems that the adjustable Schick on the highest setting is pretty close to a decent amount of aggression, at least in my experience.

For injectors, it's the M model or the PAL adjustable as far as I know. The Cobra Classic is a SE, not an injector, and it can be very aggressive depending on the user.

The Pal adjustable was a big disappointment in my search for an aggressive injector. Two reasons, it isn't really very aggressive, in my opinion, when compared directly to the Schick adjustable. Second, most important reason, unless you find a NOS Pal, the adjustment mechanism is really a bad design and simply doesn't seem to be actively adjusting anything. The Pal is a beautiful razor, heavy and elegant in brushed stainless steel. It's a good razor to collect and use, just not an aggressive razor or an engineering marvel. I'd love to hear from anyone whose opinion is different. My report is based on the two Pals I've owned, one of which went into the trash because it was worn completely out and the adjusting mechanism was defective, and the other is still in the case, used only once, by me, and I'll be keeping it.

Schick Injector E is my favorite injector. I find it also to be the most aggressive.

Thanks for the info! I'll keep an eye out for an E-type and the Cobra. Perhaps my beard won't scoff at those models like it does milder razors.

My Shick M12 zooms around my face better than any other razor

Medium aggressiveness in my experience.
