Places in NYC

[IsaacRN]

I had posted this same question at SRP and wanted to see if any of you had any suggestions. Im currently living in nyc and was wondering if anyone here had any good shave shops/supply stores. Im not necessarily talking about AOS either. Im gonna try out Pasteurs Pharmacy tomorrow and see if i can get any Coate's soaps. Hopefully they will have some left. Never tried it, but from what peeps say on the net it should be picked up while you can. Just wondering....while the net is great for supplies....sometimes you just want to touch and smell whatever it is your buying.

This is from Gordon some time back, but may still be useful:
A guide to NYC shaving places, by Gordon (Bernards66): Pasteur's is your best bet in terms of price. They are competitive with the best internet sources, on that score. Their selection of top shelf shave goods is quite extensive (Trumper's, D R Harris, T&H, Taylor's, and Coate's). Also aftershaves like Skin Food and Harris's Milk, and some colognes. The 61st Street and Lexington Ave. store also has Simpson brushes at VERY good prices, but the selection is limited.

That said, every serious traditional shaver owes it to himself to visit Cambridge Chemists at 21 East 65th Street. The most extensive selection of top shelf shave goods and gentlemen's toiletries in North America. They have the largest selection of shave brushes, almost all of which are Simpson's and Rooney's; including unusual models of Simpsons, as well as the beautiful Rooney Finest model true Whites. Their brushes are usually branded 'John Bull', as has been their practice for a very long time. Ask for Scott, and tell him I sent you. Their prices are not the lowest, but the store is a must visit..

If you'd like to check out some Plisson brushes, the place is Clyde's on Madison, in the low 70s. One of the two shops in America that stock any number of these top shelf brushes. Even if you have no intention of buying, it's worth a look.

If you're interested in the top of the line Omega badger brushes, Boyd's at 968 3rd Avenue at 58th Street, has quite a selection. There are other places of interest, and if you have anything specific in mind, post, and I'll try to help.

I checked out Pasteur's today and I was impressed. They had a very good selection of top brand names. Ran into a guy who talked as if he was either the manager or owner. Took some time to chat with me. I would definately go there again. BTW...i went to the 53E 34th location.
