Based on all the positive comments about these two strop makers, especially the quality of their workmanship and their linen, I've decided to get a hanging strop from one of them. For most people the decision is made easier because of shipping: If you live in the US, you choose Tony; if if you live in Europe, you choose Neil. However, I live in Taiwan, so I'm assuming shipping will be similar (although I have yet to confirm this).
Based on some preliminary research, it looks like Neil's stops will be more expensive (even when backing out the VAT). I know it's difficult to compare because their leather will be different, but does anyone have any experience using similar strops from both manufacturers? Does it really just come down to location, or are there other differences that I should take note of?
Thanks.
