    Using my very capable kenrup trainer, and looking forward to my Tony Miller in the (near?) future!!!

    (insert lusty apprehension here)

    I thought, for sure, that I'd never nick a strop....

    I'm brand new to straight-razor shaving, though I've been wet shaving all my life. There is a bit of gear to buy to get into this hobby and the expenses quickly mount, I've had to be careful with my purchases.

    This Wednesday I purchased Tony's 3" Heirloom model with Latigo and Canvas, based on what I'd read elsewhere. I figure it's best to bite the price bullet once for quality gear that delivers outstanding performance, then be happy with it for the rest of my life. Or as I've read, buy quality and cry once, buy non-quality and cry many times.

    Based on what I'm reading here about Tony's leather, I'm now doubly glad I purchased my strop from him. Maybe it will arrive today. I can't wait to try it out.

    Welcome and congrats...

    You are going to LOVE your strop ! It will be beautiful and everlasting. As well if you ever need to replace anything on it or have any questions or concerns all you need to do is email the master... Tony

    I'll add to the long list of Tony fans. I have his 3'' latigo and what a strop. I'm comparing it to the premium expensive Dovo. What a difference in craftsmanship and I really love Dovo products. Jeremy-

    Thanks for the warm welcomes. I appreciate those. Well, the strop didn't arrive today, but I did get a heavy package from Shaving Essentials, so it was a very good day. I can't wait to see Tony's strop next week. I'm sure it will be impressive.
