    In that case, aren't you supposed to hold the strop near the camera with you in the background to make the strop look HUGE?



    Just kidding. You've got a quality strop from a quality gent.

    ENJOY!!

    Don't be put off by our demand to see pics, Caysea! We have a phenomena on this forum of strange 'Neil Miller Trolls' Who profess to have a strop by him and sadly, do not! It is called the 'Inadequate Strop Denial Syndrome', or ISDS.
    Pictures are naturally, required. Otherwise, extensive testing and therapy are necessary!

    Seriously, Nice strop. Thanks for the pics! Oh! "Newbs" are a good thing around here. We get to see different stuff!
    Regards,
    Tom

    Thanks to Wullie, this has gone way off topic. I would like to see either of you strop or shave with those catches.

    Some of us are born with unique talents that should be shared.

    Thread wrecks are just of my many talents.

    Actually it is related. When I cured out the bills, I was seriously considering using them to strop with. In that it seemed like Neil really needed the $$ I decided to buy from him. :-) Took the bill and sanded it down and my daughter painted it. It is on a shelf in my office.
