Thanks for this excellent idea!
I am assuming the MMBT would also work, but have you tried other GEM style razors with injector blades?

I have only tried Injector blades in the Micromatic series of razors. I have used a half DE in a Gem Junior, and that works too but I prefer Gem blades in those.

Thanks for the information!
For the half DE in a GEM Junior, was the blade held in place only by the top cap or did you have to use some sort of rig to secure the blade/make it work?

The blade us clamped by the top cap, but only from the sides.  The blade is unsupported in the center.
