Long Island Cutlery

I had an amazing day this week visiting with the owners and customers at Long Island Cutlery.
They are an Andis repair center and dealer. Celebrating 100 years in business next year... older than Andis.
They are a fixture on the New York barber and clipper scene.
Great prices, friendly service, expert repair.
You really need to drop in and say hello.
I look forward to my next visit!
