Best Adjustable Injector?

[Aalglatt]

I'm interested in trying injectors and want to get an adjustable. I had a Merkur Progress that gave very good shaves, but it took me 5-6 times of adjusting the blade each time I loaded it before I could get even blade exposure. Just too much "slop" in the tolerance on the posts of the top plate and the holes in the base plate.

For injectors I'm trying to decide between the Supply Pro, Parker Injector v3, and a Schick M adjustable (I found some NOS listed on EBay for near the same price as the Parker). Which one would be the best to try? I currently use a Edwin Jagger DE-89 and a Rockwell 6C on plate 3, both with Gillette Nacet blades. They give good shaves, but it takes 3 to get to DFS+. My hope is that an adjustable injector might make for an easier shave.

The Schick. I think the Parker is milder, even at the highest setting. The Supply Pro has a wider range, in my opinion, but the Schick would give you a better representation of an injector.

What he said. Of the other two, I would go with the Supply Pro. My first gen. Parker is pretty mild, but I haven't tried the the third generation of the razor. It's supposed to have more range.

Schick M, no contest. Use only Chinese Schick blades (“Chicks”).

The Schick adjustable injector is my best performing vintage razor. You should be able to find a good quality used one without too much trouble.

As the saying goes, YMMV. Having tried the Schick and the Parker, I prefer and recommend the Supply. It shaves like a dream, makes it nearly impossible to cut yourself, and for me provides a closer shave. Different strokes (pardon the pun) for different folks.

I tried the Supply SE and it did not perform that well. I was unable to load blades without them going in at an angle and dragging across the blade stop.
