HA! Love it. Well do not worry my good man. I plan on being there tomorrow. And as I posted, pics and report will be forthcoming shortly after I return to my hotel room late tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like an interesting place to visit. Never been to NY. When TSA smells all the soaps, cologne, and AS in your bag, they will probably get a dog to check for any drugs you might be hiding.

Indeed Joshua. I will have to check a bag with all the aftershave/cologne. Can't take that on board. Neither can you take the blades. Only bought a few. The brushes and soaps, no problem, but I'll check those as well. I brought a big bag with lots of padding to carry the stuff back.

Here is TODAY'S haul. I'll buy more in subsequent trips.



You notice I have TWO Excursion soaps and TWO 1912 Union Square soaps. This is because I got extra for some lucky guys here. More news on this giveaway later. For now, just enjoy the pics. I'll upload my videos to Youtube and post them here later today.

Nice haul....Honestly, I would get confused by the sheer variety.
If you go in not knowing what you wanted, it would be hard to pick, it would seem!

Leon, the owner of Pasteur's is a prince among men. No matter HOW busy the man is, he comes out from behind the pharmacy counter and says hello, poses for pics, and talks wet shaving. He's not only the owner, but he KNOWS his STUFF when it comes to product!

The best buy in brushes he has in the store is this Rocket 26mm Synth. It's just under $13. I had to pick one up.

Some pics of the place!

More to follow

There is some truth to this my good man. I have a friend that is really into fishing. He can't go to Cabela's for fishing gear because it just TOO MUCH for his mind to wrap around. You want a fishing rod? They have 2,800 to choose from. Reels? 1884 models. Etc.

But because shaving supplies take up so little space (compared to other things) and because we really like variety, this works. Pasteur's is a small store, but boy does he cram in the product. He also does "events" that I'd love to attend. Leon told me he did a sailing event around the harbor, and he also said he's doing a BBQ Wet Shave meet of sorts with a tent outside on the sidewalk on 34th street with Hot Dogs and Hamburgers and wet shaving fun. Leon is such a great guy, and his store is so amazing. He deserves the success he has.
