Thread: Alternate source for Tony Miller strops?

On vacation? Aack! I just bought my first razor and was hoping to get one of Tony Millers entry-level strops to go with it. Is there an alternate supplier for his strops? Thanks.

EH!!
Why not buy direct from Tony?

Presumably because ftsdoc wants his strop to arrive as soon as possible. My advice would be to wait just a little longer. The Well Shaved Gentleman Shop will be accepting orders soon again, it's only closed for a week and a half.

And to answer your question, I'm not aware of anywhere else (except perhaps through another member in the buy/sell/trade section) who sells Tony's strops.

Tony's out of strops and he's going on 'vacation'/business getting more materials. He posted it in the Vendors section.

I don't think anybody else carries Tony's strops. I think your only option is to wait another week or so, unless you go for different strop... Sorry

Shavingshop.com has these. It is John Crowely's site. He used to post a bunch back on the Yahoo site. It looks like he is selling some Heirloom strops. Not the entry level though. MikeB

squarepoint beat me to it. Shavingshop is the only other source that I know of though they only carry one model and you can't customize it at all

i'd wait for Tony to come back if not for anything else than to join the ranks of us that rant and rave over his stuff

Thanks guys. It won't be that long but demand has oustripped supplies and we were headed out on a business trip anyway so felt I should close and restock instead of coming home to a weeks wortth of orders and making everyone wait once again.

So fay we have about 30 Paragons back on the shelf and Artisans in the works now. I woodworker friend is going to crank out paddle blanks for me so all I need to do is add leather and finish them. This should get us back on track quickly. The starter strops will be back in a few remaining honey browm items and a a new heavier weight red Latigo.

John Crowley has been a long time supplier of my #1 Best and now Paragon strops and I think you see another dealer or two with them very soon as well. I'll let them comment when the time is right.

I'll be around via e-mail and maybe phone till Wednesday but in the shop most of the time so it may take a few days to return calls.
