Upcoming Trip to Pasteur's in NYC!

Happy Friday everyone!

I started wet shaving about two years ago and I'm not sure how, but I've only recently discovered Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC. Being from NJ and only 25 minutes from Manhattan, I am planning a visit tomorrow and will post lots of pics for you all to envy :p. But in all seriousness, I am very excited as I am sure I will return time and time again for any future shaving needs. I plan on picking up a soap or two and an aftershave, but I will see how disciplined I am tomorrow. I will post updates with pics to this thread post-visit. :)
 
I went in on Tuesday. Took a lot of restraint, spent less than 100 dollars on a pieced together beginner DE kit. A lot of soaps to choose from, overwhelming for a newbie like myself. Best of all everything is priced fairly, like online pricing.


Have fun!

That's awesome! Even more excited now knowing that their prices are fair. My goal is no more than 2 soaps and an aftershave. If I can do that, I'll be happy. But I know it'll be hard.

enjoy the trip, and you are very lucky living so close to such a wet shaving shrine that is Pasteur's. I'm one of the many here that have to resort to online purchases and planning shipping schedules around product usage.

Be sure to check out the 50 percent off table up front. They were also buy 2 get 1 free. Majority was soaps but it had a few aftershaves, a brush, and 3 DE razors. They also had another wall of 50 percent off stuff.

Basically take your time, so you don't miss anything. It's easy to feel rushed because the place is smallish.

Great to know! I'll be on the lookout

I was there about a month ago. Amazing place with just about anything you could want. The only advice I would give you is to smell the soap before you buy. I found several instances of very weak scents which i chalk up to it being old stock.

I made it back! 34th street
twice . Evening and morning visits. Couldn't get to Lexington
50% off rack full of sudsy soapery, blackship grooming etc. On the evening trip the woman working there told me buy 2 get 1 free. Nice score in the morning. Same lady no recollection of me that i could tell. 50% off.
Its very overwhelming in there!
i stocked up on some essential items like osoma alum blocks and proraso pre shave. And about 6 soaps and2 aftershave

Sorry no pics but i got some brands ive wanted to try like soap smooth and tiki. The bargain wins me over too. $8 for soap smooth aftershave had me at hello
The clerk was in an extra good mood when she gave me 50% off and a third item free!
I bought truefitt & hill west indian limes at retail which i used today! Fantastic. Lived up to the hype the small amount i wiped off the inner seal was more than enough for a 3 pass and then some i either use way too much cream or thus stuff is high concentrations

thanks! i brought some cash with me that i was willing to lose like i was going to a casino and to not go too crazy. Determined not to use a cc.
The value of being able to smell stuff and buy without shipping and the immediate gratification is crazy. Very overwhelming. But fun feels like on the hunt.
