I am offering a sale a vintage Gillette Diplomat Gold Double Edge Safety Razor with a date code of A2, placing it in the 2nd Quarter of 1955. This razor, in the opinion of many shave enthusiasts represents the pinnacle of Gillette's genius in the design and manufacture of safety razors.The razor delivers an incredibly close, smooth shave leaving the face, to borrow a phrase, "Baby Butt Smooth" I have used it myself and can attest to how well it handles, how the weight of the razor does all the work in the shaving, and in how great this razor looks.This is a USED razor, and it has been sanitized, cleaned, and polished - both before and after my usage - but it is not anyw near pristine shape. Yes, it has polished nicely, and has an excellent lustre, but as you will notice in the photos t is plating loss on the silo doors, and both end caps are missing from the razor. One end cap comes with the razor but does need to be re-attached.Other than that, everything works perfectly, including the Twist To Open (TTO) mechanism. It comes with the case, which may or may not have been the original case, and a gold tone blade holder, with 5 Derby Safety razor blades.I am selling it because I acquired another Diplomat in better condition which I will use for shaving. This razor is well suited for either the collector or shave enthusiast who wishes
