    Default THE DIPLOMAT – Does anyone know anything about this razor?

    I bought this razor.
    There is no information about the manufacturer by the seller.
    The only thing that we know is that it is made in Germany.
    It is full hollow, 6/8 and with Ox bone scales.

    Engraved on the tang are the words
    “Forged & real Hollow Ground in Germany”

    On the blade there is “The Diplomat Set ready for use”


    Does anybody know anything about this razor?
    Is it a good razor at all?

    Very nice looking razor. I'm a sucker for a worked spine.

    I'm not sure, about this razor.
    But trademark "Diplomat" was used by E.Lüttges & Companie.
    The company was in business since 1868. Registered 10th April 1900. Located Junkerstrasse 22, Solingen-Ohligs.

    Damn good looking razor you have there. Sorry I can't offer any help. Those scales with that spine do something for me. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you very much gentlemen.

    I will consider this as an E.Lüttges razor, since this is the only information I have.

    Thank you indeed!

    Today I shaved for the first time with this razor.
    I had honed it yesterday with the Nortons1k/4k/8k and the Chinese finisher.

    The razor gave me an excellent shave! Deep and smooth. I am very happy with this one.

    It's not a big problem.
    A lot of razors are difficult to identify.
    I have a razor, that I can't identify for a long time.
