It's possible my google-fu has failed me, but do anyone know about a more recent GEM-style razor than the Countor II that was phased out in the mid to late '70s? It occurred to me as I was laying in bed waking up this morning that while new injector and artist club style razors come out ever so often, I haven't seen a new GEM style razor being offered at all.

I've always seen the market for modern GEM razors as a small niche. The Blackland, ATT and Rocnel GEM razors brought about a brief resurgence in interest. Judging from postings on TSN, it seems the Blackland was the best received, and it's the only one of the three which survives. Hans, if you like the GEM format, the Blackland is a very fine razor. I would be surprised if another modern GEM razor makes it to market.

I believe you might be referring to the Tnnser 3D Printed SE razor.
Here is a photo of it found in the SOTD by one of our Italian members.

Are these razors for sale or will I have to buy plans and print one myself? if I had a 3D printer that is.
