New At Ambrose Shave

**ambrose** · 09-02-2010, 01:13 AM

Hello guys and gals Ive got a website in the works, ambroseshave.com

I will be offering a steady stream of strops in a few staple leathers such as horse hide and cordovan. I will also have limited runs in different leathers. Along with the strops I will be offering fully restored custom straights that I hand select and razor services.

Some of you have read some of the reviews here and there about my spanish horse leather strops. I am sorry to have to announce that this leather had been discontinued.

I am offering the last of my spanish horse strops to the good members of B&B. These are my new standard strop model named "Veinte" or twenty because of its length. Its basically a balance of the models I was offering.

This strop is classy and traditional, nice and firm in surface tension, I find it is very well balanced. They are 2.5 x 20" long, barbers end with a 15-16 inch stropping surface area, 2.5" wide natural cotton canvas linen is standard, hand hammered debossed logo.

I have only 5 of the spanish horse strops left for sale. all sold or pending

Next week, I have hard compressed buttery horse hide that is on the way. As well as some more deep chocolate cordovan. I should have about only 5 of the cordovan strops for this round.

Interested members please message me for details if you want a strop.

I love my Ambrose strop so I might just have to think about getting a second one when you get your site up and running Jose.

**Leon** · 09-02-2010, 02:31 AM

My friend Jose, congratulations and good luck!

**NBT** · 09-02-2010, 04:25 AM

Meh... maybe I will take you up on some of your services some day....after you get a site up or something....

Not too sure about all the pics of the nice strop's, the before and after pics of the razor's you have sharpened to a mirror finish, all the people that have nothing but praise of your services.... probably all rumors and photoshop.

All joking aside... Jose... I wish you all the very best on your endeavor...

I predict that the package that I sent you should be there today or tomorrow.
The tee is a new addition to our Local...so let me know if the size is correct after a washing. Our prior vendor's shirt's had a tendency to run a bit smaller after a cycle in the wash/dryer.

For those who may have not had the pleasure of dealing with Jose...one heck of a stand up guy. I do have one concern though after he get's done with a few of the razors I sent off to him.... me needing a transfusion when I get them back.

Thanks for the great CS....and I will be talking to ya soon.

Appears to be a First Class operation... Impressive looking strops!

**ShavedZombie** · 09-02-2010, 06:09 AM

I still expect you to notify me, personally, about any new "limited edition" leathers you decide to make strops out of! I demand first dibs!!

Also, will Classico still be available? It's the absolute perfect length for me.

Good Luck, Jose! Your strops are phenomenal, and I eagerly await my Cordovan!

I have not been on B&B long but I have yet to see even one bad review of anything done by Ambrose.

As for why I have not ordered my strop from him? I have serious carpal tunnel in both hands and I would hate to break the news to him that I have turned one of his famous strops into mince meat inside of a week

but maybe one day when I know I can strop and not chop I will order one from Ambrose

**Poulin** · 09-02-2010, 08:04 AM

Nice looking strop!

**cooncatbob** · 09-02-2010, 09:33 AM

Good to see you here Jose, make sure you check out our exclusive Vendor lounge.
Bob.

With the new website, maybe I'll finally get around to ordering one of your strops which has been on my wish/to do list for a while.

**azmark** · 09-02-2010, 09:42 AM

Awesome! I can't wait to see the new additions and future dealings!

So when can we expect the Ambrose shaving soap?

**Spivey** · 09-02-2010, 09:56 AM

Congratulations, Jose! I LOVE my Spanish Leather Strop!

Good thing I'm about to send a batch off to the BST! Your strops are, by and far, my favorites; Right up there with my SRD English bridle, so I can't wait to see what comes out next!

**Nerdman** · 09-08-2010, 08:34 PM

Used my new Veinte today! I love that new size! It stil has a good firm feel of the corto but with a couple extra inches!! Looking foward to the new horsehides!!

**Harvitz81** · 09-14-2010, 04:31 PM

Hey Jose,

what's the status of your new leathers? I see one on BST already. Is this the only leather you have in stock at the moment?

Ive got samples of high quality english leathers on the way. At hand I have a few premium horsehide Clásico which are 2.5 x 24 and maybe 1-2 cordovan. Im also working on something extra for the strops but you have to wait and see when I am ready to show haha

I can't wait for this secret strop. If it works out, it's gonna put Jose near the top of the strop game IMO
