Razor

Browsed here briefly to check out clothing. Service was very friendly as I saw the woman working there helping a customer who was trying clothes on. Going through the racks, however, I saw that this isn’t a store for women of tiny sizes. They’re apparently known for their men’s clothes so maybe they have more size diversity there but from what I could tell of women’s I didn’t see anything I liked in my size. Not finding my size seems to be a trend in NYC, though. Worth a visit at least once but maybe you’ll have better luck if you’re a guy or wear a larger size than a ⁰⁄₂.

Lived in the Slope for seven years, but the first time I set foot in Razor was on a whim, the day before my wedding. See, I had a new blazer from Loehmann’s, which I love, but I wasn’t crazy about the shirt and tie combo I bought with it. And I needed slacks. I walked out with a great solid blue shirt and two amazing Italian pairs of slacks, both with this incredible, soft velourish fabric, one pair cut like jeans. But I needed them tailored by tomorrow. No problem, said Emanuel, and gave me the card for Dun Rite cleaners just up the street. Got them back the next afternoon perfectly tailored, or done right perhaps? Since the ceremony was in our home, we were trying to use local providers — Zuzu’s Petals for flowers, du jour for the cake, L’albero dei Gelati for catered hors d’oeuvres, and Juventino for the wedding dinner. All superb, by the way, and worthy of their own five star reviews. I just didn’t expect to get clothes in the hood as well. The topper? Went further down the street because I had it in my head I wanted to wear a topper, namely a fedora, and found a beautiful one at Goorin’s hat shop. When I mentioned that now my wedding outfit was complete but I wasn’t sure about the tie I was planning to wear, without pause they immediately suggested I check out Razor! I’ve already decided to give my husband a Razor gift certificate for his birthday.

While this SF geek was in NY I figured, as long as I was in Brooklyn, I would be a cool for a day. The first step was clearly to stop by local shop a local shop and pick up some new threads. I was happy to see that there was a well rated men’s store just a couple of blocks from where I was staying.
Never was it so easy and affordable to be cool. Sure, I paid a bit more than I would for jeans at Macy’s, but I could definitely tell that I was getting style and quality for my money. It is like the owner has curated the best merchandise with value in mind, and all that is left for you is to find what fits.
Only problem is, I ended up buying much more than I intended.

expensive! but excellent for style inspirations and amazing for high quality accessories: ties, cuff links, belts and belt buckles. they also have a lot of button-​down shirts with flair (pearl snaps, embroidery, bright colors) and great jeans.

Owner spent about 2 hours with me to find a great outfit for my semi-​formal wedding. totally trashed his dressing room and he didn’t care at all. He also juggled other customers with grace.

I’m not a suburban teenager of Pakistani descent, so most of the stuff in here is not for me (the color palette and style seems «off» for an urban 30-​something white guy like me).
Awesome denim selection, but hard to figure out where my size was. It was all over the map.
Great accessories (like Miguel D. says) — the hats, the cufflinks, the belts, the money clips, all really great. Staff is incredibly chatty, friendly, and determined to help.
Great window displays, which gets you in there, but I was hard pressed to find something that really «fit» me. Maybe I’ll try harder next time.

Great window displays, great product, great staff, great assortment of items. Anything from Jackets, to belts, to cuff links and watches, this place has it (And if it doesn’t have exactly what you’re looking for, It will have items that you just can’t live without). Believe me when I tell you that each time I go into that store, I wind up walking out with a new hat, or a pair of cuff links, or a leather bag. This place has it all, not to mention the willingness of the owner to go out of his way to make sure you can find what you are looking for. The place isn’t that large, but it certainly chooses the right assortment of clothing and accessories that will catch your eye.
Way to go Razor… Keep up the good work!!!

It’s another case of «if I had more money I would spend a nice chunk of it here» because, seriously, if I had more money I would spend a nice chunk of it here. They carry some really nice Buffalo jeans and goddamn are they comfy. The jeans at the back of the store are what it’s all about; it’s kind of like the hidden gem because the window display focuses on the other stuff they sell.
Speaking of that other stuff they have really nice «toys»: knit scarves, wine sets, cuff links, and even some bling. The belt rack is what I want in my house and if I keep going the way I’m spending at Razor I will.
Hot. Stuff. Right. Here.

I love Razor. I don’t go in unless I’m prepared to spend money because I always see something that I am compelled to buy.
It’s never a question of whether I will find something I like, just if they will have my size.
Razor’s owners make an effort to find small design houses with interesting and quality clothing. They don’t waste shelf or rack space with things you can easily find at Bloomingdales or Macy’s.

Great selection of denim!

Simple designer store with very little attitude. Reasonable prices for the quality (great jeans for under $ 200, casual jackets for about the same).
This is a great find for the neighborhood. I usually go to Soho to Ted Baker or Bloomingdales, now I always check here to see what’s in stock before the big boys.
Not a huge selection but good options, local designers, and cool stuff — check it out!
