Other than Neil Miller who else makes strops in the EU?

P.s. I don't mean people like Dovo I'm after artisan strop makers.

EU or Europe?

Torolf (TM280) is in Norway, and his strops are truly first class.

Many thanks

I did actually mean the EU due to the silly way we get charged VAT/Duty and an obscene handling fee by the courier if you are unlucky enough to get caught for tax on import. The threshold above which VAT is payable has just dropped to £15 which is about 17.4 euros.

However I shall look into Torolf's strops thanks. Does he have a website or just sell on forums?

After some searching through google and my initial reply being eaten by the 'reply' button I found these:

- Mr Steen's Old Traditional for The Different Scent in Berlin

- Leo de Brouwers paddle strop for Scheerwinkel in Leiden, The Netherlands

- Unspecified manufacturer's Luxurious Latigo hanging strops at Rasurpur.de (same strops also at Scheerwinkel.nl) Rasurpur also carries the Kanayama 30,000. It's quite pricey though at €149, I think importing it from Japan through JimR of easternsmooth.com will come out cheaper, the price for the same strop (excl. shipping) is around €97.

That being said, I recently got a Scrupleworks (Torolf) strop with worsted wool backing and it works like a dream. Can't go wrong there. I think it's easiest to contact him through the forum, username TM280.
Loose, footloose!

Holy cow, is it a general EU change, or applicable for UK only? :blink:
