#Wealthy New Yorkers save famous Astor Place barbershop

That was a close shave.

A group of wealthy New Yorkers has stepped in to save an iconic East Village barbershop from going out of business after nearly 75 years.

Astor Place Hair Stylists — whose customers have included everyone from pop artist Andy Warhol to actor Robert de Niro and Mayor Bill de Blasio — announced last month that it was going to close its doors for good around Thanksgiving because of flailing business amid COVID-19.

But financier Jonathan Trichter told The Post on Monday that money has been raised to keep the classic Manhattan hair hangout “open for at least another 75 years.”

Trichter said he and other investors — including Mike Bloomberg adviser Howard Wolfson, pollster Jeff Pollack and gaming mogul Jeff Gural — are propping up the business with cash to ensure it “will continue to be a global arbiter of style and chic.’’

Gural owns the building where the basement shop is located.
