{LIST EDITED}

Recently there was a thread that mentioned a few.

For the Kanayama I used aframes Tokyo which had the best price and I think one of the knife places had hand america stuff

Here is a couple, one is from your list. You didn't say if you found the websites or not. If not, here they are:

Tony Miller | The Well Shaved Gentleman | Heirloom Razor Strop Company

Bison Made

For the top of the line in craftsmanship, beauty and efficiency Mr. Neil Miller's strops are without equal.
SRD has the largest selection of strops and strop materials that there is and at excellent prices.

Scrupleworks produces beautiful and superb working strops.

Kanoyama strops are beautiful and have a dedicated following.

Hand American's "Old Dog" strops are great strops but have not been on the market for several years.

The above names, for me, are the very best available. And as always in wet shaving world YMMV. : )

Thanks for the info so far guys.

I guess we were talking about the same site. I went to the aframestokyo.com and it directed me to a stores.yahoo.net address when I clicked on the strop. I added the aframestokyo address to the original list since it was simpler. Thanks

Neil didn't make the NewBee Top 10 list,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Attachment 196762

Neil Miller. Of course the vendor from here that slipped my mind was the arsonist! :gaah: Not sure how that happened.

I didn't think you were serious, but just so I'm clear this isn't a "top" list. I just wanted to make a current list of recommended strop makers and maybe try to get some information about lesser known ones.

Post #20, just making a reference to his joke.

Still a hard tag friend,,,,,,:shrug:

Don't worry about it.

You don't worry me friend,,,,,,,,,,,,;)

I made a few changes to the list. If anyone has any experience with the etsy or shavesmith strops, please share. I believe the rest of strops on the list have had positive reviews or were discussed favorably here on SRP.

JP5,

+1 on Mr. Neil Miller. I have quite a number of his strops, both hanging and paddle : they are World Class :)

Mr. Miller is also a damn fine chappie to do business with :)

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Buy what you can afford at this time,it will work fine,when you perfect the art of stropping (after a couple mos.) and your done cutting it to shreads.
Than pop for a nice custom,to me it is a lifelong purchase.

I understand that, but I'm trying to create a list that could possibly help others in the future. I think a more thorough list of quality strop makers/suppliers could be useful to those looking for their first better quality or high end strop.

I saw Bison Made strops at MaggardRazors.com so I guess I will add them to the list.

The Portland Razor Company makes a very nice strop. Portland Razor Co. | Straight Razors and Strops — Deluxe Strop

Thanks, I'll add that to the list. I may have to finish the list and just post it again in this thread. There isn't an 'edit' option available for the OP.

I have a strop from SRW Strops, which I am very happy with!
