Quite a few options in that range, Tony should take an order if you email him. Hides to Art has turned out some works of art as well.
For a quality custom maker a wait is not uncommon but most will take your order if you agree to the lead time.
Best bet is to touch base with the maker of your choice.It is just Whisker Whacking
Relax and Enjoy!

There is also Scrupple Woks, in Norway I believe. I have a very nice horse strop from Imperial Shaving, with a suede second. On the owed end there is also Star Shaving.

I agree with the recommendation for Neil Miller. My best strops have come from Neil.
I've never owned a Scruple Works, but I would love to, and this should be on anyone's short list also.

Does anyone know if Neil Miller is back in business? He had some personal issues last year, the website has no newer information?

Neil is down for a while with health issues. He will certainly be back with us. Tough guy!
Makes wonderful strops. Best to him!
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
