Nice!

Next time you or anyone reading this thread goes, please make it a point to ask to say hello to Leon (the owner). Leon is a PRINCE of a man, and loves to meet shaving fans. If you are...

I shaved with it this morning in my hotel room. For $13.00, it's actually unbelievable. Leon at Pasteur's really urged me to consider it once he knew i liked Synth brushes as he kept saying it was...

Leon told me he is working on a simple website to facilitate online selling. So stay tuned for that! I suspect he would do phone orders with a credit card, but can't swear to that.

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...

Leon (the owner) and I were discussing this. We both like Synth. They are just too easy, and if you get a good one, it's just too easy to fall in love with it. This Rocket Brush is AMAZING for the...

Here is a quick Video of the wet shaving section that I shot for you guys today. Not all of it, but much of it.

Leon makes incredible use of space. Store square footage in Manhattan is EXTREMELY expensive. For the space Leon has at Pasteur's, he uses every square inch. Make sure you check end-caps, and...

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...

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. ...

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...

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.

Gentlemen:

I have not forgotten about my trip to Pasteur's in NY. Just postponed. I believe I'll get there tomorrow (Thursday) and will report after that. Been busier than expected here in the...

I hear that. And 40 years ago, that may have been true.

I was born in NY City and grew up close by. In the 70s, yes. I probably would not even consider going to Manhattan after dark and walking...

I know. Isn't it amazing? They really pack in the shaving gear. "Right and Tight" as my British friend used to say. Every square inch of space that is dedicated to wet shaving is indeed used as...

The Big Apple started many loves for me. I bought my first real "Stereo" at Sam Goody in NY. I've since spent a fortune on Audio equipment and Vinyl records. I bought my first Straight Razor in...

There used to be a C O Bigelow in Columbus, Ohio. I used to do business there and my web hosting provider and VPN service provider are based there. Les Wexner (owner of The Limited and Victoria's...

Photos and trip report forthcoming. I'm not sure which day(s) I'll be at Pasteur's, but whenever that is (next week), the photos and report will be posted here that night.

Aloha!

Headed to New York City next week. I certainly will make the trek to Pasteur's and enjoy some wet shaving nirvana.

I thought about NOT bringing any of my usual wet shaving shaving...
