I thought a few of you might like to see some pics of a new TM horsehide strop. It has the cotton second component. Old shool excellent craftsmanship all the way around. I also ordered a travel...er... I mean... practice strop. Many thanks Mr. Miller for doing what you do and doing it so well.

That looks beautiful. I'm thinking of ordering one with linen.
Well, I took one look and had to buy one.

I just stropped up a Dovo. The cotton/horsehide is excellent. The cotton has a solid and light draw. The cotton really licks the edge. The horsehide draw is distinct, silky but stout. I think this strop will breakin beautifully with hand rubbing only. I don't plan on putting anything on either the cotton or the horsehide. I pulled a couple boars hairs out of an old brush and split them very cleanly. The pic shows the good news. I think this Dovo is very happy with Mr. Miller
Very cool! Never seen a TM with no handles or D's before - has a great old-school look!
sweet, I have never wanted something so much in my life

Tell me about it. I went to Tony's site and checked out the 3" Horsehide strops, but they aren't available for a few weeks. Ah well, the wait will be worth it. Builds character, right?
Thank you guys!
I do want to note though the one pictured is a little different in size than what I have right now. The pictured strop is the large 2 1/2" x 24" Master Barber model while what I am currently offering are the smaller 2" x 21" Companion versions (as they would be good for travel). Same design, construction, leather, and linen but a bit softer cotton.
If you ordered today thinking you were getting the large strop instead just let me know and I will refund you.
Thanks,
Tony

I have just bought a beautiful strop from our own NEIL Miller here in the UK. Surely I can't justify buying a Tony Miller also......can I.......
Must be something in that Miller name when it comes to strops...............
Neill does offer some really nice work.
