What is this razor? Approx value on BST or antique store?



Thanks.

I believe that would be your Gillette Diplomat.

Value is what someone would pay.

Search the BST or E-bay for Gillette Diplomat

That is an Aristocrat....depending on if it's notched or not...It could be a '47...if notched or a date code it would be a post '47. Looks nice! And they are great shavers!!

What am I missing Phil? I wudda sworn it was an aristocrat...but I'm still learning!

This is particularly poignant because I kept calling a Diplomat an Aristocrat the other day.

Anyway, the difference is the knurling above the TTO knob.

An Aristocrat is kind of smooth like this

But a Diplomat is knurled, just like a President, but Gold.

TY Phil!

it looks like a 1953 Diplomat in a 1940 Gold Tech case:

Thanks Achim, I knew I had seen that case somewhere. You and your site are truly a wealth of knowledge.
