    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?
