My new "Old No.2" strop came in the mail yesterday! I have been wanting one of these for a long time and I'm thrilled to finally have it. I haven't used it yet but it looks great so far.
The leather is thick and heavy and very supple. The surface is a very pale color and luxuriously smooth with a slight velvety feel to it. The linen side has a "soft" feel.
I might not get to use it till tomorrow or monday. I'll update then with more info and hopefully some pics.

I love all 6 of the strops i bought from Tony years ago, back before he put his logo on them... they just have the horse head and a "1"
the problem is when you make a product of such high quality it is years before it needs an upgrade.... it hurts the bottom line but the customers really appreciate it.

Very Sweet, Michael. I'll bet you love it for years.
Good news indeed, I have a few different strops but it seems like my TM is my preferred "go-to" strop. I'm sure you'll get years out of it.
congrats!!!! I have heard nothing but the best about them! hope you enjoy it!
Used the strop today for the first time. Love it! Really, it had such a great feel that I can barely contain myself. So smooth, and I got distinct feel from both the spine and the trailing edge. I felt and heard the edge change, that's when I knew to stop. So much better than my old dovo strop
I had a nice shave after w my Boker

Tonys strops are fantastic,first thing I noticed is the detail he puts into them,look at the chicago screws,every slot in every screw lines up the same.
Michael, You made a wise purchase. TM makes a quality product and I'm grateful for the work he puts into his strops. Enjoy!!!
Are TM strops still available new? Any links to purchase? Found the link

Thanks for your help
Can you post some pictures Michael?
Tony Miller is getting up there in years, so he tends to take quite a bit of time off (At least he used to) He's a good guy.
Zib,are you sure of that? would be surprised if he was just in his mid 50s,great guy for sure.Quote:

Please pics in order to see how nice it is. Must be nice.
