    Default Just got my Tony Miller strop----AWEEESSSOOOMMMEEEE

    Since i have been straight shaving exclusively now for months i realized i needed to get a good strop as i am in this thing for the long run.

    From all the reviews, i saw that Tony Miller strops are at the top of the list and man were you all right.

    I was put on his waiting list and waited till Mr. Miller told me that it was time to make mine.

    I ordered the 3 inch Heirloom Artisan Steerhide strop with handles.

    Man is this thing awesome.

    I would say it is a light draw and feels like silk.

    It reminded me of when i used to play air hockey and that little puck was floating on air.

    SOOOO smoothh.

    The craftsmanship is so top botch.

    The strop is just so amazing compared to the ones i have been using.

    I kept holding off in ordering it as i thought it was pricy but this strop is worth every penny.

    I also loved the fact that it is made in the U.S.A.

    Tony Miller is awesome to deal with and his service service is exceptional.

    My first ever strop was a Tony Miller, and it's still the one I use most days. Fantastic workmanship and, as you say, he's a great guy to deal with.

    Congrats!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    My first "real" strop was also a Tony Miller work of art, albeit a Latigo strop. It's still my preferred daily strop. Treat it with care and it will serve you for years to come.

    I purchased a pre-owned Tony Miller latigo & I love it, although the previous owner appeared to have nicked it...alot!
