I plan on doing most if not all of my purchasing online, however, I was curious if anybody knows of any shops (i.e., barber supply stores, retailers, etc.) that might sell razors (new or vintage) in the New York area? I am specifically coming from Long Island, but would be willing to travel. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Lee's is in Jerico but I don't know if there is a retail store. You can give him a call. All other stores I know are in the city.
What stores do you know of in the city?
Hi Keith, I've been to several stores in Manhattan, but I don't recall seeing any straights - except at AOS. All of the straights I've ever seen in brick and mortar stores (in NY and other places) have been heavily marked up compared to what you could find on-line. There's a recent thread on stores in NY - I think its here in the Newbies Corner- that lists several of the "shaving" stores in the city. Please let us know if you find anything interesting.

Yeah, I don't know any straight-specific places in NYC, only what was mentioned here

The New York Shaving Company? This is a good place to try.
i'd really like to meet with a person hand them my razor with the hopes that after four or five hones they will feel bad and help me learn.
I have been here in LI for 56 years and in the past two and a half have tried to clean out every flea market and old barber shop and antique store I could fine,so If I missed any,good luck hunting....I've gotten about twenty really great blades,and maybe 6-8 good ones.
I live in Northern NJ. I have hosted several meet ups and have a few members travel over from LI. They are usually on a weekend day and start in the morning and run until mid afternoon. It is a great way to meet some member and learn some skills. We meet about 1/2 mile from the George Washington Bridge, so depending where you live, could be 30-90 minutes drive.Quote:

THAT is the reason i purchased my stones. I wanted to show up and get experience with my own. if you are even bored, i'd love to come over and buy you beer or lunch or both. which ever would show enough gratitude for the help. January is very though for me with work. Tons of reports and bla bla bla. but anytime you can, or if you are setting a meet soon. that would be awesome also.Quote:
