    Default My New Tony Miller Strop!

    My new Tony Miller Old #2 strop came this afternoon and I was as giddy as a schoolgirl ready to try it out.
    My initial impression is WOW! So smooth and buttery with a perfect for me draw.
    Quality craftsmanship throughout, got mine with the linen second, just can’t say enough about the quality. Makes my old vintage Sunasack horsehide strop seem like a poor cousin...lol
    Love it! Birthday present from SWMBO!

    He does make a nice strop. I enjoy the cotton secondary also. Its a tight fine weave. Enjoy the new strop.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Thank You Gentlemen, I'm sure I will.

    Stropped up a Japanese Seiki razor this morning and had a go at it, a great shave!

    After having this for a month, this is definitely a top tier strop!
    It improves every razor I put on it.
    I love the linen second, and the quality is outstanding!
    Just can’t say how much I love this strop!

    That looks like the flax linen, if so you are a wise man.

    I've tried his linen component in a pass-around. Excellent feel and performance.

    Absolutely love the linen second.
    The horse leather is buttery smooth.
    The extra small touches like the beading on the leather just shows
    The pride and craftsmanship that goes into this strop!
    Well done Tony! Love it!
