    Makes wonderful strops. Best to him!
    Thanks Tom - much appreciated!

    I have certainly been through the wringer for the first part of this year, but should soon be up to speed (famous last words!) again! My iMac has just got out of the menders today, I just got out of hospital (for the second time this year) and I have a new workshop being fitted out - got to be some good news in there somewhere!

    Regards,
    Neil

    Some good advice above. A couple that I have that haven't been mentioned is Walking Horse. I own their split side strop and it is great. The linen component works very well on it also.

    Also, you can't talk about strops and not mention Kanayama. For me, the ultimate finishing strop. No strop has that silky smooth feeling like those do. Never use any oil on them though...ever!

    Good to hear that Neil Miller's on the mend, I've heard only good or better things about his strops.

    Neil will recuperate just fine, he's got the love of his mother-in-law to bring him back to health.
    Isn't that right Neil???
