Thread: I wanna buy a TM strop but they are closed temporarily!!

Booooo! haha i wanted to go and maybe buy a strop from thewellshavedgentleman, but they are closed for their spring vacation until the 20th. now that i think about it, thats only 6 days.. but stilllllllllllllllllllllllll

i have excellent patience but not when i decide i want to buy something haha

Just be ready as soon as he opens his doors. I guarantee that you aren't he only one with your nose pressed up to his glass.

You can also find a limited selcetion of Tony's strops now at

Is it a consensus that TM strops are the best, or is there a minority view that say Dovo's is as good or better?

I have a TM paddle by the way and really like it, but want to get a real strop, and assume I'll be pressing my face up to his glass, but want to be sure I shouldn't be thinking about other brands too.

Darn, I'm sitting here relaxing on vacation and can feel my ears burning : )

Jim carries my strops at Vintage Blades LLC, John Crowley's Shaving Shop has some, Vegan Essentials sells the synthetics and very soon you will see them at Straight Razor Designs. I also have a fellow in Switzerland who will have them in his store.

I find I spend more time each week packing and shipping than in making product which is why I am always selling out. I am working on sending more products to my valued vendors and retailing less myself. This is not my sole job so need to limit my time and letting my vendors sell and me manufacture more will give me the time I need.
I'll still have all the same products but they just won't all be available at the same time. between my vendors though someone ought to have whatever is needed at the moment.

Okay, back to relaxing......

Tony

haha hope your vacation is goin well! i sent ya an email (actual email, not a PM) so when ya get back check that out ... i can wait
