This was just curiosity... My next two strops will come from the same source as my first one. I wonder who it is

I can get the Jemico models if anyone is interested at around the cost of my 4 sided paddles.

Mine is about the size of the Jemico 4-sided.

BTW, the Jemico 4-sided is excellent, not that I don't love the one I got from Tony (for a lot less), but the stone on it (there's also a 2-sided one with a stone) is excellent. I don't know what it is, but it's an extremely smooth, soft stone. It seems finer than 12K. I find green paste a little too fine for refreshing, but the Jemico paddle with the stone and leather strop is perfect, making it the ideal travel paddle.

Joe,
The Jemico 4 sides are nice. Sadly though they are expensive. My dealer cost on one is higher than my retail on my own 4 sided paddle (less pastes) making full retail nearly double mine.

I do like them though.

Hey you can't beat a Tony Miller paddle. Save the money for razors and stick with Tony's paddles.

i got a 3 inch strop from tony and it is beautiful, so much so that Im a little afraid to use it...lol, Think Ive only used it a half dozen times, but i also own a 4 sided paddle which is definately the 'dogs balls' which stays hung in my wardrobe. When I travel offshore I carry 4 razors, my coticule or thuringan Hone , rubbing stone and a steich- reimen 2 sided with plain and 0.50 paste....now I know that sounds like alot but being honest its the only real time I have with no interuption to fart around with my blades and take as long as I like to shave, which is really nice.

I would love to try the other strops and hopefully i will once we move to the US of A but for now my cash is really pretty much tied up...so razors.....i must not bid...i must not bid.....i must not bid.....

Hey Randy ...who you trying to convince?

...lol

all the best guys, simon
