Thread: What to do now...

Some paddle strops are narrower and shorter than hanging strops. IMO they are therefore not so fun to use because you have to focus more to keep the blade steady. Tony M has some wide paddles too and they might be fun to use too.
Keeping the hanging strop taut is not as hard job what you might think. Actually it is better to keep yourself in a relaxing position and not tensioning too much.
Again IMO I suggest to get a hanging over paddles if you have a good place to use it and other things mentioned in Theory of stropping wiki article.
But If you have small room or travel a lot or want to do stropping in other room or don't want to keep the strop taut or........
Both strops have pro's and con's and what suits best to you......at the end ..... you know it better than anyone else.
