Hi Neil , Package arrived today and so very impressed, thank you very much !  The work on the three looks fantastic.  The leopard wood looks fantastic and the thin profile tapers beautifully  up to the tang, it looks very stylishThe Begall surpassed my expectation and was exactly my sort of dream razor i was hoping for, the size of blade the crisp stamp and ivory scales- it has everything !! Thank you for all the effort you have put in ...

Hi Neil,  I've had my razor sharpend by you before, when it was first purchased for me, and now i've used it for a while I thought the first sharpening was such good quality, I'll send it back [for more].

A couple of months ago I bought a NOS Filarmonica Inox From The Strop Shop.  I want to thank you.  It has turned out to be a superb razor.

Donald, USA

Hello Neil.  The Filarmonica has arrived safely.  Very nice piece.  I think you are a sincere business man and have every confidence in dealing with you.  Too bad that your
shop is so far away.

 

JS, USA

Neil, Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the delivery, it arrived next day from me placing the order with you and the razor and strop are great! Many thanks and suffice to say you have my recommendation on Google+ and Twitter.

Dear Neil!  I have just received the EMU Razor. I'm amazed! It is beautiful thing! I mean its appearence and your workmanship for the razor restoration.  After the first shave by Sheffield's razor I would not like buy modern German things for shaving.  I forgot to make one more compliment for your sharpness. It provides the greatest shave. Unfortunately my English does not allow me to discuss this area

Oleg, Russia

 

Hello Neil,  I've used the razor this morning for the first time. Excellent! It's perfectly sharpened. Many compliments... You're the best Restorer of Straight Razors all over Europe.

Thanks Neil, Just had a shave with the razor I got from you last week. Great stuff! I couldn't have asked for a better first straight edge shave.

Stephen, UK

Neil,  Thanks for the feedback and for the razors, they arrived this morning.  You've done a cracking job on them...

BM, Executive Shaving

 

Hi Neil.  Razor and strop arrived safely this morning.  I'm absolutely delighted with both.  I'm going to have a go at my first 'real' razor shave in the next hour or so.

John, UK

Hi Neil, The strop arrived yesterday I just used it today and all I gots to say is wow! This just blows every other strop I've tried out of the water and the craftsmanship is A1. I love it, its great! Thanks very much for making that for me! :)  Its just stellar, I really cant thank you enough! I just posted a thread up on the forum about it as well. http://straightrazorplace.com/show-tell/72893-my-new-neil-miller-custom-3-shell-cordovan-linen-strop.html  I'm basically raving to anyone who'll listen about it lol..! :)

Stu F, SRP

Neil!  I have received and tested the strop you made for me and shipped to Stu for delivery.  I am very pleased with it!  Lovely design, great workmanship and wonderful performance all in one product:)  Thank you ever so much for this!  All the guys at the meet tested it and they were all really impressed with it.

Birnando, SRP

 

Hello Neil,  I had a chance to strop a razor on one of your cordovan strops on Saturday - what an amazing leather to strop on!  I also saw a vintage paddle strop that you fitted with cordovan on one side and horsehide on the other, also a very beautiful strop...

CM, UK

 

Hello, Mr. Miller!  I just picked up the razors from the post a few hours ago and they look even better than they did in the pictures!  All the thanks in the world to you!

Timo R, Sweden

Hi Neil,  just wanted to say that I received my dovo in the mail today-What a transformation!  Seriously I am totally dellighted with this work of art. Very pleasantly surprised by the highly-polished mock tortoise shell handle you fitted for me. And the blade is now "shave sharp" to a very high standard. As far as I'm concerned you've got a customer for life. My next venture is to purchase another blade (possibly from one of your vintage range) probably next month

Hi Neil, Just wanted to say thank-you for the Oriental razor. It looks fantastic, I cant understand why people would buy new razors, when you give these wonderful vintage models a new lease of life. Congratulations on a fantastic business, I hope to buy from you again.

Hi Neil,  Just received the goods, very impressed with the quick service.
The razors look wonderful and very sharp, can't wait to use them. I recently purchased a razor from ## and it's no where near as sharp as the razors you've sent.

M. Donnelly UK


Dear Neil, May I take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent edge you put on the Revisor
Derek S. UK


Neil,  I received the (ebony paddle) strop this afternoon.  I gave it a razor a quick stropping and it feels great.  That bridle really has some draw and the tallow tan is nice and slick.  Very different leather to the TI paddle which has virtually no draw in comparison to the bridle, and seems somewhat fluffy compared to your leathers.  I am very pleased with this strop, and think that ebony looks superb.  It certainly has a lot of length to it!  Im going to enjoy using it and wanted to thank you for such a fine product.
M. Esterkin UK


Neil, My pouches and razor arrived in good order. I gave one of the pouches to my son who was very pleased. The Boker is very nice. Thanks for doing such quality work.
S. Collins. USA


Neil, I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my Solingen razor I purchased from you awhile back. It was "shave ready". I just ordered the "Boker".
S. Collins. USA


Hi Neil, I'm writing to let you know I got the package a few days ago, exceptionally well packaged I might add.  Many thanks for the great razors and the excellent pouch!
Matti A.


Hello Neil.  Just to let you know that the straights has arrived safe and in good condition.  I am so looking forward to try them out they are really beautiful, and I hope they shave as well as they look.
S. Moller. Denmark


Good afternoon Neil,  I am extremely happy with the products already brought from you. The vintage Macero is a beautiful piece and a joy to use.  I must admit, I check in to your website on a near daily basis. No doubt, I shall be doing business with you again!
