Older than me.

Vintage german steel. Should shave fine if honed by someone competent.

Goins says:
COSMO MFG. CO. GERMANY
1900-1920
"Joseph Feist (omega) Solingen" is stamped on the back of the tang. Feist made knifes from about 1898-1924.

That's a good looking razor you have there...

I did mean lurking, my bad.
additionally, i still have the box for it, except the box says koken. i did a quick google to find they made barber chairs, is this the correct box?

The box would say the same as the razor...

well i thought it should have the same name, would koken have sold a third party razor like mine? or do i just have a mismatched box

I have looked at thousands of razors in antique stores, flea markets, etc. I would say that less than 50% were in the correct boxes. Do a search here on SRP as some one was trying to work out a trading thing for boxes if you need a box that matches.
