The Later Gem Models..
The Micromatic Family Trio & the Gem G Bar & Gem Featherweight..These were all designed to take a Current Gem Blade and the Gem Push Button or Gem Contour as Well..Not Shown here..

This is all really good to know - that bullet ended Micro looks fantastic (they all look fantastic). It thought the current Personna Gem blade, once in the retaining hooks (that's what I'm gonna call them) "wobbled & bounced" (have you ever tried the Dorco single edge?).
I should've know about the size of the spine/blade thickness, 'cos all the SE's I've bought have arrived with old blades in them. I'll make the Ferguson Patent Single Edge Shim® tonight and try it out. I've got a few spare blade spines from when I made the thingumy that holds a half blade DE blade between two back-to-front Gems (which wasn't really worth it). The addition of the shim means I can (almost) properly contrast the US vs UK versions of the 1912 (I've got two of each), bt I'd like to do it with the original blades.
How do you strop your old PAL/Star SE blades? (All I have is the afore mentioned Kriss-Kross rotating stropper, which is still in bits, I've got no chrome Ox or strop). [I won't be asking you this many questions every day)
