Thread: European strop makers?

I don't have a Scruppleworks or Westholme (I do have a lovely Neil Miller), but they both look like fine, fine strops. I think I'd be hard pressed to pick one over the other.

Scrupleworks or The Different Scent. I have both, and they are both well made, and worth their price.

I've got a scrupleworks, which is a top thing. He also does lovely paddle strops which are fantastic and I would love to own.

The Westholme strops I have been eyeing up ever since Jamie introduced me to them, they look very nice. Not sure you can go wrong with either really.

Finally, I notice that there are some italian custom strop makers that frequently appear in SOTD threads, but I don't know too much about these makers at all.

Recently a guy from Poland started advertising on FB, looking at the pics the strops look good. I am not aware of any reviews yet, so it is not clear how those strops perform.

Hey Nic, Does this guy still make strops in the UK? http://straightrazorpalace.com/strop...ld-strops.html

I've been out of the loop for a while, so I'm very sorry to read in Nic's post of the passing of Neil Miller. I've got a few of Neil's strops. He was always a pleasure to deal with, and a treasure trove of knowledge on the subject ... as we was on many subjects. I'll probably put my Neil Miller shell strops away now, as they were unsurpassed in performance.

I've got a strop from Torolf (Scrupleworks,) and it is my "daily driver.." Again, top notch products and service, and if I needed another strop (which I decidedly don't, as if that means anything) it would be, once again, from Scrupleworks.

Godspeed.. Neil Miller. The shaving world has lost one of it's best....

I've recently added a Westholme strop to my collection Alistair work is pretty much as good as it gets, he sells cordovan shell and I recently picked up a new batch of Horside he had in, the draw was medium to heavy which pretty much takes a lot of getting use to if you like me are use to using a very slick Knayama having said that it's a very fine strop, here's my Westholme strop.
