Amm
But my doorknob is not a circle one, it is more like the rectangular one
Also
How can I make it so strong that I can pull the strop and make it tide on this method?

I allwyas thought that the best it putting a some kind of a nail in the wall and then tie it up there

I keep my strop in the bathroom. I screwed a hook into the wall and hang it on the hook. I can pull it very taught with no issues.

Yep that what I was thinking to do, the problem is that it take a lot of space, isn't? and isn't the fact that the bath has a lot of water don't cause problems to the lather?
Also, what about sun light from the window?

Doorknob here too.

The strop I'm currently using arrived around Christmas time, the same day I brought a tree home tied to the top of the car. I was so anxious to try the strop out that I used some of the nylon cord from the tree to hang it from my closet doorknob. I'd planned on buying one of those purpose designed strop hooks for wall mounting but the temporary doorknob installation worked so well that I never bothered to change it.

No problems keeping it taut enough w/o risking damage to anything.

On a clothes hook on the back of the bathroom door (on the bathroom side of the door) (no problems with humidity)

Doorknob, which in Europe is more like door handle. I have bought the loop screw for the wall, but never got to fix it...

I think the two important criteria include the height at about elbow height and that if you install in a wall that you hit the stud for stability. Otherwise, anywhere you want after that.

My house is lathe and plaster ( wire mesh nailed to studs and coated with an inch or more of cement)

I ran a 2 inch stainless eyebolt (lag) into the wall with a molly and some epoxy.

I also made a nice little washer about the size of 3 stacked quarters out of some bison horn to trim it out / cover the big ugly hole.

If your house was built with the same construction methods forewarned!
My bathroom wall was SO hard, I had to use a star bit and a 3 pound hammer and it took 15 mins.

Did I need a molly AND epoxy?
Could I shave with those 10 for $.99 twin blade disposables?

I think we all know the answer.
