    Default B-day Strop- A Tony Miller Heirloom

    Last night I was persented a Tony Miller horsehide/ latigo 2 ˝” strop. It was a B-day gift from CarrieM and JrJoeD. They gave it to me a week early because of the limited avalibility of JrJoeD. Every detail was painstaking attention to and the strop looks fantastic. I used it to strop my razor last night and it does an incredible job. Tony’s craftsmanship exceeded all expectations.

    If you have any question as to what brand of strop to buy, there is no contest , Tony Miller does an exceptional job and has raised a new standard in strop making.

    Thank you JrJoeD, CarrieM and Tony Miller for a wonderful B-day gift!

    p.s. special thanks to Tony for his special effort to had the strop delivered for this weekend's event.

    Happy birthday Joed ! I agree with you on Tony's expertise. He is da man.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Nice strop -- typical excellent quality.

    Hey Tony,

    Far be it from me to attempt to tell someone else how to live his life, but... I may have had an epiphany for the Well Stropped Gentleman. If you were to make the strops a bit longer and a bit narrower, punch holes in one end, and replace the D ring with a buckle, these leathers could do double duty as both strop and BELT. Yessir, economies of shared functions.

    You're entirely welcome, anytime
