What's the going rate for a very clean, no plate loss Diplomat razor in a very clean Diplomat case, missing original blades?
Gillette Diplomat pricing

I would think anywhere between $70 and $120. In my opinion, they are well under priced considering that it is the same as the President but with gold plating.

Thanks. I got one today for $70. Oddly the date code, per the seller, is B 1 which makes it 1956. Per the B&B Wiki, these were only made 1953, 54 and 55. Seller could be reading it wrong or something. I'll know when I receive it.

That is a really sweet deal you got on that Diplomat set. Great find
Thanks. Another one of those "just listed" as I hit my saved search parameters. It's a worthy addition to my collection. And of course, as with all razors I buy, I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin around the face.
That sounds like a very good buy. I love the shave I get from my Diplomats and Presidents. They feel quite mild but that is more because it is such an effortless shave. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
I saw that today as well and almost pulled the trigger, but I'm really looking forward to getting into straights and didn't need another DE razor. The case if I remember was in very good condition. Nice score!

I'm really intrigued that the date code is B 1, a year, 1956, when supposedly Diplomats weren't made. When it comes in, I'll post pics for verification so the Wiki can be updated. Anyone else have a B date code Diplomat? Or even an X date code, 1952, Diplomat?

Well, it arrived today and it's definitely a B1 date coded Diplomat. I've updated the Wiki to reflect the Diplomat being made until 1956 and not 1955. Tried taking pictures but they didn't come out so well. No macro option on my phone camera. I'll keep trying.
