    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. : )
    Hirlau, Phrank and FranfC like this.

    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 Miller. Of course the vendor from here that slipped my mind was the arsonist! 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.
