I saw this at the Uncrate website this morning and chased the link:
New Injector
For the record - this isn't me in any way - I just saw it and thought it was interesting. A new injector is being developed. Looks like they are scratching around for capitol.
A new injector on the way?

Re: A new injector on the way?
Thanks, Gene. Looks like a Pal, shaves like a . . . ? Mighty interesting, that's for sure.

Re: A new injector on the way?
IMO dead in the water due to blade availability. There are three choices: expensive vintage, crappy Chinese & finally Personna (Ted Pella) who was just sold to Southmedic in Canada and surely will be looking to cut the "fat" wherever possible. As well, the razor looks like a copy of the last Personna SE injector.
Re: A new injector on the way?
Looks exactly like Pal adjustable. Front and back. As already mentioned, blades will be an issue.

Re: A new injector on the way?
The PAL Adjustable isn't structured like this razor, however, so it may not have been more than styling inspiration. Also, most find the Chinese Schick pretty decent, while it remains to be seen what happens to ASR/Personna. If the lab blade business is strong enough, their injector blades may remain on the market and I even know shavers who like these blades, as well.
This certainly has my interest piqued.

It is a handsome razor. Maybe someone will get one so we can learn more about it.

Re: A new injector on the way?
I agree that the (lack of) availability of good injector blades will render this problematic. I gave up injectors before because of this; why would I want to get back into that game?
Having said that, I have en route a rare Schick N3 that I've been searching for forever in an attempt to recapture the N1/N2 + Plus Platinum shaving experiences of the past. I approached this as Homer Simpson would 64 slices of American cheese sitting atop a chocolate donut.
