    I have googled the name and all i can find is this about the continental razors:

    Carl Schmidt Sohn AG, Solingen in 1932.
    Brand names: 'Continental', 'Continental Extra'.
    Open-blade razor maker. Nothing comes up in SRP.

    After missing out on a 'dubl duck Goldedge' and an 'J.A. Henckels 415' over the last couple of months that sold for more then i can justify paying. And being very disappointed as i love the look of those razors, I came across this continental that has a very smiler look to them.


    I though what the hell, its in my price range! I just hope it shaves a well as it looks!

    If Anyone else has more info or has one it wold be good to hear feedback about it.

    Example's of what i missed out on (not the actual razors)

    I was referring to what I could find! Not what I had on hand.

    Check this link out.

    Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation

    I hope this will help, if not in this instance, perhaps the future!!
