    No prizes for best answer:

    Neil. Competition? What competition? Doesn't matter anyway, got the Neil Miller one. If the strop is as nice as it looks in the photos I'll be well pleased...
    I'm in a straight razor buying frenzy at the moment...

    I haven't had a SRD strop, but plenty of others... I think 7 non Neil Miller strops over the years, but I think the three Neil Miller strops I've got now are the best out there. The "only" strop I'm a little interested in is the Kanayama strops, but I have a hard time imagine them being better than my Neil Miller cordovan strop ...

    Well picked, anyhow Carl, prob either way you would have gone.

    I think the Neil Miller will age well, like me. It already looks like it was made about a hundred years ago, like me...
    Neil Miller and earcutter like this.

    I have a 2,5" English Bridle/Linen from Neil, it's a great strop that just have become better with use, and the linen is superb!

    It's hard to go wrong with either one
    I have strops from both of them, and can attest to both being stellar products!
    Congrats on a great new strop

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Well, I'm no spring chicken that's true enough - but you can go off some people suddenly, Mikael...

    My wife claims she doesn't want a spring chicken as her man ... and she doesn't have one either, Neil . I feel like 100 yrs old right now though, just finished splitting billets (1/3 of a large tree I took down earlier, it's hard labour to have a vaccation ).
