Wowsers this is a cool find!  I did some research on this razor and its a little of a mystery. German razors with the CARA marking are hard to pin down .  According to someone at the museum in Solligen they were of the opinion that the name was owned by someone who did not actually make razors but had them made by established companies.   This one also says Zentral Verband which is German and translates to “Central Association”.  

Besides that this came from an estate sale in the box you see here.  The box states H.BOKER&Co. which may be who actually manufactured it but I am not sure.  I DO KNOW this puppy is sharp and understand you are buying a razor.  Like a SHARP razor so maybe don’t do anything dumb with it .

Condition

    Vintage.  Razor seems sharp but there are some spots on the metal.  Please see the photos.
