I got this off Ebay. It is identical to a 1914 Star Kampfe. However, no one yet has seen a GEM version like this one. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I'd especially like to know its GEM "name" - so I know what I have. Thanks Attachments:

That's a new one to me. Let me do some research in the next day or two to see what I can find out.

That is a nice looking Razor. Not sure what it is but I bet it shaves great. Let us know.

Shaved with it today. Used a GEM Blue Star. Pretty good shave. Maybe just shy of DFS. AND, I think the shortcomings were mine, not the razor's. I'm still relatively new to west shaving.
Would love to get more info about it. It is just like a Star Kampfe razor. The thing that is strange is that it is GEM-branded.

Not that strange. I have had a Superior and Gem that looked Identical. There are Ever Ready and Gems that look identical. Guess that is how it was. Like Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

Yeah, I know there are often identical razors from the various companies. The thing that people have said is that they've never seen a GEM version of this one.

That's a really interesting razor. Any chance we could see a pic or two of the back and underside?
