Thread: Holy new strop Tony Miller!!

So am about to shave but just HAD to post how AWESOME the new Tony Miller Old No. 2 3" strop I just got is!! Strop Draw NOW makes sense. I have been using an IL 827 Russian Leather strop and WOW what a difference. Now I love my 827 and it's not going anywhere but the Tony Mill is gorgeous. The manufacturing is beautiful and it feels like I'm stropping on a cloud!! There will be some adjusting to the width since I am used to doing the X patter with the 827 but just slowed down and made sure not to slice it....which I didn't!! Very VERY happy with the new addition to the den!!

Congratulations on your new acquisition! I have one myself and love it.

I actually got the first one he made a few mos. back.your going to love that strop,enjoy.

I've got an old Tony Miller horsehide 2 1/2" that I like quite a bit. Glad Tony is still producing some. I know he had took some time off.

yeah i had noticed that while i was researching which new one i wanted and was bummed after readin a LOT of great reviews so when i saw he was back producing i had to jump on it!!!

never had one but i hear they are top notch, hope she provides you with many years of use and that it dosent get nicked up.

Glad to hear Tony is back up and running. I've never read a negative review of Tony's strops, quite the opposite actually. A few years ago his were top-of-the-ladder, and everybody wanted one, including me and mine still sees regular use. I'll bet if he's fairly active he'll give SRD a run for their money.

Gentlemen,

I have two Tony Miller strops. The first, bought about two years ago, is a small 2" horsehide strop with a linen component and leather tethers. This is my travel strop. It's about as perfect a strop as you can get for travel. I use hotel door knobs to anchor the strop. It's beautifully made.

Two weeks ago my newest Tony Miller strop arrived. It's the old No. 2 Heirloom Steer hide 2 1/2" with linen component. It's exquisite in workmanship and performance. And it's beautiful. Tony Miller's strops are astonishing in performance and impeccable in production.

I too have a Tony Miller strop that I consider to be my best. He really knows what he is doing.

I picked up one of the new ones awhile back and love it too. Much better than latigo and the draw is just right. Tony makes great stuff!
