    Default Tripoli Barber supply of Philadelphia

    Not so much about a razor, but a business here.
    Tripoli BS is seen on a plethora of barber/shaving related vintage goods here. I have seen razors, strops, hones, etc and so forth marked as from their establishment.
    Seemingly a satellite of PJM.
    Were I to take a guess, I might see the company predating WWII and awakening after.
    Same as DublDuck, CMon, BelAro, other names previously supplied by the PJM network.

    Anyway, I have a razor and some strops from 606 Ninth St, Philadelphia.

    Anyone know about Tripoli BS?

    My Tripoli razor is a ringer for a brother of post-war Ducks and later Cmon's
    The connection is there, I think?

    It's "Via Bicycle" now at the 606 S. 9th St. location. Weirdest thing is Google maps street view you can aim the arrow at the front door and go into the bike store, turn around, and go back out. Never been able to do that in street view before. So, you can go in and see what it looks like today.
