    Default A BIG Thank you to Neil Miller

    I just want to say thank you to Neil, for a finely crafted strop. I ordered a 3" shell cordovan, with genuine linen. The shipping was fast, and the quality is superb!! The draw is fantastic!!!!!
    We have no control of what other people do or say to us, but we have control to how we REACT !! GOD BLESS

    Yup, he makes a fine cordovan strop.
    I received mine a couple years back, while attending the London RazorCon.
    Superb stuff!!

    Nice! But, it doesn't exist if there are no pictures...
    I adore my Neil Miller and WILL one day get a shell from him.
    I love living in the past...

    Yeah, but don't let that stop you from adding to the herd ! My 2-1/2" snake trimmed shell is more than just a strop, Neil makes art of strops. Congratulations on your new strop.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yes! Neil does fine work! I just received a few panels for a Lipshaw strop from him. A nice red bridle and an experimental textured panel to try in leiu of fabric. OH! and a few pieces with which to restore some strop-back hones!

    Neil's work is the benchmark for perfection in strop craftsmanship and materials. We are very fortunate to have access to his work.

    I received my shell cordovan about three weeks ago, and couldn't be more pleased. It was so beautiful, I almost didn't want to start using it, and it has been a joy to use. This really is as good as it gets.

    That shell is good, no?
