still loving mine...
a lot...
a lot...
OK so order is placed... spent weeks drooling over the 9000 but after reading the reviews, and mulling it over I figured I'd get 2 #3s and have a back up and all for 2/3 the price of a 9000.
since it's all about the leather not the linen I think the 3 was def the smart choice, and the 2nd strop- well that was just plain ole OCD disguised as future planning.
so the mailman waiting game begins. damn you B&B
If Doc get $xxfor each strop sold from this review, he will soon have a One of a kind made for him )
Me too ...I wish
I emailed Tasheki and mentioned a few of you by name as being 100% responsible for my purchase today - maybe at least a future discount for you guys??
"Boom-Chikki-Boom-Boom" or so I hear.
Yes, wait until you use it. You'll know what I mean.
to say I'm looking forward to it would be the understatement of the year!
thanks again for the enabling btw... money is just paper afterall.
Always happy to spend money-specially someone if it's not mine
After weeks of drooling I now have a #3 in the mail too. You guys are just a bunch of enablers; wetshaving is supposed to save you money, remember?...
How the the maiden stropping?they've arrived yesterday!! and they are indeed gorgeous and supple and smooth and I'm utterly impressed by the beauty of the hide. no blemishes, no marks, both perfect in everyway -even indicated as such stamped by the maker
the hardware is not as flimsy as it looks, and is actually quite a classy touch to the simplicity of the strop itself.
these truly are works of art - tragic to think he's no apprentice to inherit his skills....
thanks for the recommendation gentlemen!
