Finally got to Pasteur's !! What a freaking amazing store. I bought some Polsilver blades to try today but I live close enough that I will surely be back soon. If you are into shaving and live near by its a must see.

Ahh, the Traditional Shaver's Wonderland!

Love 'em. They're my local shave source and do I feel lucky!

And don't forget their uptown location at Lexington Avenue near 63rd Street.

A honest to goodness wonderland. Someplace I would work after I retire just for the fun of it

I love this place. Also, my doctor is next door, so I can drop in when I get chest pains from spending too much moolah.

Teddy,I might need that doctor's name. BTW tried the Polsilver blades I bought there yesterday. They were very smooth. To me they were up there with lab preps. The price is way to high , 10 for about 6$,but I had to try them one time just because I have seen a lot of comments regarding them.

Aha! a theme park for shavers!

I usually come into Penn Station from upstate instead of driving into Manhattan. I can see where my first stop--and last--is likely to be.

One of the best things about living in NYC. Great service, great prices on some things, and the convenience factor is amazing.

**StuMcB** · 05-06-2012, 12:33 PM

You guys in NY are soooooooooooooo lucky to have a decent pharmacy let alone one that has such a great line up of shave gear,

**Sledgehammer39** · 05-06-2012, 02:44 PM

Man that place looks awesome!!

Craig very true great prices on some things. The only things that seem to be a bit high so far are the colognes and aftershaves. The blades ,razors etc seem on par with online sites.
@ Stu and Sledgehammer they do really put a lot of stuff in a relatively small section of the store. It is really nice to see some of this stuff someplace other than on a computer screen and there are some testers for the colognes and aftershaves so you get to try some scents out as well. The most unusual thing I noticed were Derby blades in a orange wrapper. I will have to do a search.

I thought that their DE blades are a touch overpriced, but then again, I don't use DEs anymore. I was also intrigued by the orange Derby blades; don't think I've ever seen those before.

I think for packs of 5 0r 10 their prices are on par.From what I saw in some older posts here the orange packs are just 10 instead of 5 packs but the same blade.

That place is great. I was there last october when I was there for a visit with family. I left ny back in '97, if I was still there I would probably be there weekly.

**brucea** · 05-06-2012, 04:42 PM

@ jtb I am about a 15 minute drive and a 25 minute subway ride away from the store. I am sure this will not be my last visit.I am lucky in the sense my wife was with me and encouraged me to buy. So I have the green light!! I will be back.
