I'm considering buying a new strop, I have several home-made ones but it would be nice to own one which craftsman made.
Since Neil Miller passed away who are the "go to" strop makers in Europe?
Being in the UK if I ordered from outside of Europe there is a strong possibility of tax and fees being charges which would bump the cost up quite a bit, hence trying to stick within the EU.
I recently purchased a strop from ScrupleWorks, in Norway. Very happy with it...
Westholme. Look on Facebook. I'll also be ordering one when he's back from hols. Beautiful work and good pricing. Can pm you his prices if you like. Does latigo and shell cordovan. Three inch with hemp linen and two and a half with cotton.
+1 on Westholme strops.
Alastair Summers makes wonderful strops most from Horween. I have his Latigo and Shell and its a fantastic strop, I cant praise it enough and Alastair is a gent.

I'll second Scrupleworks, Torolf is a treat to work with and my strop is something I,m proud of. Tc
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.
