Thread: Strop Suggestion Please

I have been out of the wet shaving world for awhile, I need a strop. What is a good solid strop with a cotton second strop attached? Money no problem, I just want the best for my money, and really lost track of what the good stuff is! Buffalo/Elk/Horse? I am so confused.

Money is no object ? I am making my own out of horse but you are going to hear a lot of opinions I am sure :<0) .

I wanted to say that but I knew someone would come along and say it better !

Thanks for the info, I guess you can never go wrong from SRD.

Three places to look at for strops:

1. SRD.

2. Tony Miller's website, which is The Well Shaved Gentleman.

3. The Superior Shave, which includes the Walking Horse horsehide strops.

Just in case you want the best... Strop-Shop.Co.UK

I really like my 3" premier Latigo. SRD makes a similar one. It has a fabric strop and leather so you can coat one side of the fabric with paste.

Happy stropping!

Well, if money was no object, I'd try and find a Kanayama.

But yeah, Tony Miller or SRD are always safe bets.

Tony Miller strops are very nice, I've been using a couple of his for 6 months now.

SRD has some great stuff too.

Why not get one of each?

Midstream:
I have had strops by SRD, Neil Miller, Tony Miller and Walkin' Horse, and all have been high quality. Currently I have the 2.5" Neil Miller shell cordovan, an exquisite piece of work, and a 3" Walkin' Horse, which I am breaking in. So take your pick.
