Thread: HandAmerica strops

Just wanted to know if they are still making a selection of strops and if anyone has the link. I just saw the one model at classic shaving,is that all thats ava? thanks

I heard through the grapevine that Keith will be listing some various strops on his website in the very near future. That is the plan, whether it will be forthcoming is unknown to me.

I hope this is true, Jimmy. He told me he was making a batch of strops in March and that he'd put my name on the list. I never got any contact after that.
I got in touch with him in September and he told me he was making strops that weekend and that he'd email me about them. I contacted him via email after the call and got no response.

Keith is an interesting person. He makes really nice strops, but the customer service is "spotty" at times. Once I had a dialog established with him, he pretty much responded to my inquiries on strops and strop leathers the day after I posted an email. I learned quite a bit from him about strop leathers, particularly on "Cordovan."

The key in dealing with him is to have a lot of patience. If you can't do that, then I would definitely look elsewhere for a strop. However, I do believe that you'll be rewarded in the end with a very nice strop.
