I picked it up on OSX. When the site comes up, it looks like a blank page. Scroll down about half way and you'll see a photo of the barbershop. That is your site entry point.
Also, pm sent. Hope I'm not too late.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to send me a private message! I honestly didnt expect so many people to get back to me right away. Ill PM everyone who replied and let them know if they were one of the first 10 to get back to me. So far I only have 100 tubs of the shaving cream so I have to limit the giveways to only 10 people. However, if the cream is a success (which I am pretty sure it will be) and we decide to make another batch, Ill definitely honor the giveaway mention to anyone who sent me a PM up to now. I think I have something like 75 (!) messages to get back to.
Our website is under construction and we should have a new one up by the end of next month. I am not on this forum to promote the shop in any way. But alot of people PM me for info on ths shop so heres a little history about Paul Molé. It's a great story for any one who truly appreciates shaving and old school barbershops....
Paul Molé is a true family barbershop and a staple on Manhattans Upper Eastside
In 1913, Joseph Molé, was fortunate to inherit his Uncles establishment at 1028 Lexington Ave. It began as a three chair barbershop of which the same chairs are still used in the shop today. Joseph Molé worked in this shop for over 50 years.
Josephs son, Paul Molé followed closely behind in his fathers footsteps. After serving in World War 2 as a medic, Paul had aspirations of becoming an actor which did not work out. Under the watchful eye of his stern father, Paul began to learn the trade. It didnt take long for Molés reputation to grow and soon he had one of the most notable establishments in New York City. He catered to the gentlemen of high society, politics, and fame.
Paul eventually moved the shop to 1021 Lexington Ave. During the 50s and 60s he notoriety grew and he became world famous, generating 100s of articles. He was way ahead of his time developing new techniques of hair cutting. Paul Molé himself became an iconic figure as he perfected his well-renowned flame cut.
In the 1960s, when most men began wearing their hair longer, Paul Molé Barbershop became the place to get a current haircut and Paul became the most famous barber in the world! Paul Molé made numerous T.V. appearances.
In the early 1970s Paul Molé passed away. An English barber by the name of Adrian Wood was recruited by the Molé Barbers to run the shop. Adrian was chosen for his international experience and knowledge of new techniques developed in England. He received his training in England starting with a City of Guilds of London. Adrian traveled around the world working in high fashion shops and 5 star hotels while perfecting his skills.
In 1978, Mr. Wood moved the shop to the corner of the same block, 1031 Lexington Avenue, where it still remains today. Today, under the ownership and management of Adrian Wood, Paul Molé Barbershop continues in the family tradition. Mr. Woods four children all play different roles in the business and are often seen working in the shop.
With nearly a century of tradition to its name, Paul Molé Barbershop continues to provide exceptional service and grooming experience to its clientele. The ideal location has 8 large windows on Lexington Avenue which offers unsurpassed lighting to the 10 chairs on the second floor. The ground floor has chairs which are designated for the care of small children and for clients with disabilities who cannot go up the stairs.
Paul Molé Barbershop offers traditional, on time services preformed by only master barbers. Freshly laundered towels, quality products, and barbers dressed in pressed shirts and ties offer great conversation.
Aged wood trimmings, leather-and-chrome barber chairs, antique barber poles, and shop heirlooms compliment the modern day luxuries, like two flat-screen TVs and complimentary cappuccino served upon each gentlemens arrival.
At Paul Molé, a man can have his whiskers shaven away while a manicurist tends to his cuticles. Our classic shave is a nostalgic treat with steaming hot towels, layers of shaving cream, and a platinum blade that is likely to keep away your unwanted facial hair well into the next day.
After nearly a century in business, Paul Molé can truly be associated with all the old school barber traditions that have kept the business alive throughout the ages. When you walk up the stairs at Paul Molé, it is like taking a step back in time. Autographed black-and-white photos of actors and other celebrities from the past and present line the walls.
Throughout the years Paul Molé Barbershop has catered to many famous clients including John Steinbeck, William F. Buckley, Henry Fonda, Bette Davis, John F. Kennedy Jr., Joe DiMaggio, Art Carvey, and the list goes on. In respect for our current clienteles privacy we refrain from listing their names; however, do not be surprised when you look over at the next chair to see your favorite actor, musician, newscaster, sports player, political figure, or business leader.

The shaving cream was specifically made to work with DE and open razors. It has a sweet tropical scent. You can use it with or without a brush. Contains Shea Butter, coco butter, and natural minerals (and more) to leave the skin moisturized after shaving.
The pre-shave oil has a sunflower/grapeseed oil base. It works very well when used as a preshave or can be used as a shave oil on its own. Only downside to the oil is that the packaging was not made to travel with.
We went for simple packaging and spent all our time and efforts in creating the actual product itself. All our barbers (14 to be exact) gave their input while creating these products. They are some of the most experienced barbers and we combined all their thoughts and ideas into making a real barbershop shave cream.
Made by barbers but enjoyed by all

Website ... seems like it only likes IE, not Firefox.
Gosh, I know our current website is terrible! It never works
If you do get it to work, check out the "our barbers" tab and watch Adrain's video link
My father is def one of the coolest old school barbers around
It did work for me in IE, and I checked out most of the videos ... very well done!!! I love the atmosphere. Very family, both barbers and clients! Please open a branch in Rochester. 
Man, if I ever make my way to that area I plan on taking a side-trip to the barbershop to check it out
Welcome to B&B! Nice to have you around and best of luck on your new endeavor!
I'm down for a visit and shave next time I'm in NYC, whenever that might be.
I'm totally going there the next time I'm in NYC.
have all the sample recipients been notified? and have they shipped?
Received a reply today saying samples were mailed out. Cannot wait to give this a try

do let us know. I missed the cut.
i didn't make the cut ........ 
um. it isn't working the way it was intended, I'm pretty sure.
I'm using OSX and Firefox.
I had the good fortune to be one of the first ten to send a PM. The box came in today, and I am amazed at the quantity! The tub weighs in at a whopping 13.3 oz, which is a lot more than I was expecting! I stuck my sniffer in the tub and the predominant note I picked up was coconut.
What also surprised me was that they included a 1.0 fl oz bottle of shaving oil!
The packaging is simple, as indicated, but functional. I wish I had my camera handy, I'd post some pictures. I'm going to give it a test drive tonight (just the cream, I'll try the oil later) and I'll post my impressions here.
