Pasteur Pharmacy & Surgical

This is perhaps the best kept secret for shaving. Unlike branded retailers this pharmacy has an excellent collection of beard oils, beard soaps, razor blades and shavers.
My area is Brooklyn was hard to find safety razors blades but I was blessed to find this spot on 34^th St. I highly recommend it if you’re a man in love with your beard.

I was a patron of the UES location for many years ao when i realized there is one by my new job i got super excited. I needed to pick up some beard supplies for a friends bday last week. Everything i wanted to buy has been opened. I was told by an employee that men come in and smell everything and its not an issue to buy an open item. Maybe, but not when its a birthday gift. I struggled for almost an hour to pick out a complete set of 3 items where nothing would be open.
The selecyion seems great and the store is a bit more roomy than the Lex location but the next time i need something I will take the train uptown.

Been using them for awhile with no real issues. Only when THEY messed up a prescription did I get really nasty customer service. It was not my fault that they misread the prescription and I should not have been treated so rudely when I tried to follow up.
UPDATE: Finishing up the prescription. Realized the «sickness» I am having might be side effects and have 1 pill left. Called the pharmacist.
Me: «I have one pill left and I am having side effects. Is it an issue if I toss it?»
Pharmacist: «take it with food»
Me: «I have been»
Pharmacist: «take the last pill and hope for the best»
Um… no. Changed from 2 stars to 1.

What a Great Place Too Visit in NYC .They have everything & the owner’s treated me like #Family

Great store. Lots of exotic hair product. The men’s shaving supply is out of this world. Took my nephew from out of town there who loves shaving products and he was in heaven. Highly recommend it. Staff was soooo helpful and kind.

Best pharmacy there is! Such amazing personal attention! They help you with whatever your needs are and if you do not see what you need, ask them. If you have any medical questions, there is always someone you can talk to and they really care for your well being.

Best selection of mens’ DR /​wet shaving /​shave brushes /​shave soaps in the city. Prices are really good too.

Great selection of mens shaving products.

First time walk-​in this afternoon and I was immediately blown away by the selection and they way it is easily accessible. After perusing around the shaving items, the staff was extremely knowledgeable and really friendly. I will forever be a customer and certainly take my pharmaceutical needs here next time as well.

Incredible selection of shaving supplies, including hard-​to-​find (non-​bootleg) blades such as Feather. If you use a safety razor and want to determine what brand of blade works best for your face, they have a huge selection of 10-​pack boxes that allow you to take home a «sampler pack.»

Pasteur Pharmacy takes customer service to a stratospheric level. A severely broken shoulder prevents me from navigating the icy streets. In the midst of a snow storm, they came to my apartment, picked up a prescription and within an hour, I had the desperately needed medication.
I have been using them for my cat’s medication. Leon painstakingly cuts these tiny little pills into the quarter dose. In addition, they are like the Disneyland of products. I dragged home products from Israel only to find them on the shelves of Pasteur along with a very hard to get Italian toothpaste.
I have never felt so taken care of by any business. I don’t know what I would do without them!

Truly a fantastic experience! I am a lover of fine toiletries, shaving/​grooming products and fragrance. Specifically, Knize Ten is difficult to find — and they had it. The associate on the floor, Tom, helped me (with excellent, detailed knowledge) locate EXACTLY what I was looking for and the Manager (Steven) was impeccable in handling the transaction and process of boxing up what I needed and shipped it to me here in California within a day. It was well-​protected and all arrived safe & sound.
They have my loyalty — a shopper in CA with a ‘local pharmacy’ in New York City, imagine that…
I highly recommend them!!!

My favorite pharmacy in NYC, and my favorite all-​around store in Murray Hill.
The drugs I priced here for out-​of-​pocket purchase were significantly cheaper than the soulless proliferating chain stores nearby. The staff is efficient, lively and helpful.
I like them very much as well as the store that they keep stocked floor to ceiling with everything you might possibly need, from Café Bustelo to batteries to fancy soap to smart small umbrellas. Considering the volume of inventory, the prices are very modest. This is an old-​school NYC neighborhood store where every square inch is crammed with necessities, a vanishing breed amid the onslaught of Duane Reades.
Please shop here often so this store will always stay in business.

A lot of people haven’t yet know how to shave like their grandfather did. These days, they’re only motivated by a rush, and yet gave room for numerous mistakes. A while back, I looked up everywhere where I could get my shaving supplies a year back, and while my town got The Art Of Shaving, along with CO Bigelow (actually Proraso in a different cover) at Bath & Body Works, it was just not enough. After all, my town is small, but served as a strategic area for New York City, etc.
I took a ride down to Manhattan to buy more alum block before mine runs out and also brought a mustache comb since I am growing a mustache and a beard. While it got the things typical of a pharmacy, Pasteur’s specialized in shaving goods (like Proraso, RazoRock, Taylor Of Old Bond Street, etc) since the revival of wet shaving and also have some features of an apothecary, such as colognes.
What changed since the last time I came is that the safety razors were shown like the price tags would. It is easy for a person to place a razor and a shaving brush on, say, a razor stand they would like to buy. Helps save them the trouble of buying a wrong sized stand. I brought a boar brush the last time I came since I prefer to lather directly on my face.
At times, if you were looking for a product that is not available, you could ask the owner for that particular item and he’ll place an order. I asked him for a shaving stand designed for the bigger shaving brushes, explaining it is from the Semogue brand, enough for him to know what I am talking about.
My only complaint about the store lies in the aisles. While I might not have a problem with it, it might be a little difficult for everyone else to pass through, especially if the person is on a mobility device or if he/​she has claustrophobia. Just let them pass and it will all be fine.
I am curious to try out other products the store has in the future. I’ll just wait till something I have runs out.

This place is great for the shaving enthusiast — and plenty of other hard to find items for men skincare. Some higher end face and body wash, including some that I actually discovered from Birchbox
Every kind of blade you can imagine for your safety razor — including Feathers. All priced right for a brick and mortar. Ordering online is always better value, but I like to support this place with the marginal price increase.

This is the best place for shaving gear that I have ever visited. They have an excellent selection and helpful staff members.
I picked up a Merkur slant, some Tabac soap and EDT, and a nice synthetic brush for a reasonable price.
The isles are narrow and crammed with products, so be patient if it’s crowded.

Unbelievablly outstanding selection of shaving supplies — razors, brushes, soaps, creams, etc. AND fabulously compelling prices. A must visit if you’re I the market to improve your shaving experience.

When I was working in the Murray Hill area a few years back I stumbled upon this place accidentally on my lunch break. The décor is beautiful and its very clean and well stocked. They carry domestic as well as international items and the prices range from inexpensive to expensive depending upon what particular item you are buying. The staff is friendly and from the interactions I’ve witnessed, they are discreet. And though I no longer work or live in New York anymore, when I did, this was my pharmacy and I will miss it.

I’m an old fashioned shaver, old metal saftey razor. This place is a shavers paradise. stopped by again on my lunch break. all the major products — aftershaves, soaps, creams, even ARKO! and samples and test bottles of great colognes and aftershaves before you drop $ 40 on that bottle or $ 35 on that Trumpers soap. I buy all my bath & shaving products here and just like walking into a place and being able to smell what I buy as opposed to shopping online. Also, they sell top of the line shaving brushes and starter brushes and single packs of blades (5 or 10).
Guys, Gents, all major products are sold here for mens personal care. British and German products and jack black as well. awesome place, superb service (I speak spanish and the mexican guys helped me immensely), great experience. I pray they keep this store open. one of those NYC gems.

If you can’t find a health and beauty aid product here, you don’t need it. The place specializes in shaving products, some of which are found only in this store in the whole country. You can literally get all nail products here, all kinds of brands, even ones you’ve never heard of. The shaving cream selection, as aforementioned, is the word «wowzers.» The shampoo, conditioner and hair product selection are the word «super.» Every other product you could ever need is found in surplus in the store.
The store is very, very narrow, and this location is organized in the exact way that the other location is organized. The pharmacy is located in the back, the cashier is located at the front, and everything else is organized by product type in between.
I have an ongoing list on my desk for the things I need the next time I’m at Pasteur’s! Always a great success is had!
