I recently bought a 3" Tony Miller strop. It is beautiful, and does a great job. It is my first and only strop (I am a newbie) but I think the 3" was the right choice for me (and well worth the money). Your craftsmanship is excellent!

I have been meaning to give a shout-out to Tony for a while, too. I have the apprentice strop, and was enjoying it so-so, when I decided last week to replenish the oils in it. My bathroom is very arid* and the strop had, it turns out, dried out a lot. I rubbed mink oil into it, and wiped off the excess. Two days after, when I went to strop my Non XLL, that strop is unbelievably smooth, with a fantastic draw on it. The strop is a keeper, a really beautiful piece of leather!
* Hopefully I get some points for using the mot du jour "arid"!
A shout out to Tony from me too! I received my Tony Miller New Standard 3" Red Latigo with Smooth Cotton (with practice strop) last weekend and it definitely looks great. The quality is top notch. I've used the smooth cotton but haven't touched the 3" leather yet. Sticking to the practice strop for now!
His service is also fantastic. He helped me through my purchase and answered a few questions I had that I'm sure he's heard a hundred times, but he didn't make me feel like I was being bothersome. Great guy! Thanks Tony!
It is incredible, there is nothing fancy about TM strops, but they are just SO well made, thay exude a remarkable air of quality and craftsmanship. I have a Starter strop, and a 3" Artisan, and they are both fantastic pieces of equipment!!!!
You can't go wrong with a Tony Miller strop . I have a 2-1/2" Artisan red latigo , and I recently bought a box strop kit from Tony , both of these products exceeded my expectations (which were high) . Thanks Tony :tu !
I've thanked Tony many times myself. His work speaks for itself. He's a true Gentleman. I have the same 3" Red Latigo. I love it, His Flatbed Paddles are awesome too ! Rich
I decided to upgrade my 3" Artisan Latigo/cotton strop and Toni Miller sent me replacements of smooth horsehide and genuine linen. When I got the replacements I decided not to replace and added the two pieces to my strop. So I made an 3" Artisan "Quattro Strop" (latigo/cotton/linen/horsehide) and it works very well. Thank`s again, Toni!

Tony Miller's strops are the best!! It's a no brainer to buy one of his great products. :tu :tu
Great concept and a strop saver. Made plenty of mistakes on the practice strop. Such a great idea! It has done wonders for the Standard strop I bought....by taking all the nicks i'd have given it.
Great work and concepts.

I just ordered my first strop , It should be here this week. I ordered a Tony Miller 3" Artesian with practice strop.
