    Speaking of my Diplomat, here it is...a wonderful shaver for a gold President.
    Regarding the plastic lid liner chatter, on the diplomat it is very a thick material and not very pliable at all. On the president it's similar to the thin cellophane wrap on a pack of blue blades...I think I'm going to toss that one.

    awesome diplomat set :cool:Mike.that would make sense on the liner ,maybe someone added the plastic to protect the original one.

    Fantastic super rare kit! I have only seen two other examples... In the last 12 years. Did it come with the liner backwards like that? Have you tried flipping it around?

    Very cool. Maybe it belonged to a lefthanded guy who immediately turned the innards around when he got it?

    Ah thanks! - You don’t grab the razor with your dominant hand - or you don’t switch the innards?
    … And here I was, thinking I was so clever :D

    Actually I'm fairly ambidextrous. But definitely I leave innards where they belong.

    the #58 aristocrat jr
    this set came from Australia,which was the only country to market it as such.
    by far one of the smoothest, prettiest and efficient non adjustable gillette tto's ever made imho.
