Thread: CONTINENTAL 5/8 Near Wedge - Anyone know about them?

I recently acquired this on eBay that i should have in my hands in the next few weeks





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)
