Thread: century cutlery co. thought it was neat so

i bought it lol its made in Solingen has a nice etch and gold plate on the blade "highest class" and it is the "Sport" model and is "self contained" so to speak has its own travel case which is pretty neat

anyone have any info on this razor or the company i cant find anything.

Looks like some of those razors with the gunstock scales you see every now and then. I would guess it's designed with travel in mind.

yeah i thought it was unique enough to add to the addiction lol just cant find any info on the maker or possible date range, im guessing it is that old

I'm pretty sure I got this insanely useful link to Solingen razor makers from resident razor antiquarian Manah originally. But it has the following listing, which makes reference to the "Century" trademark, and gives a rough date range:
