Here's the strop that I have.
Obviously, I will need to secure the end where the two different materials converge... but with what, and how high?
Will a robe hook do the trick?
Note that there is a clasp, and then a steel ring. I assume that means the ring is supposed to be the point of attachment, but I'm not sure.

Secondly, the canvas vs. the leather... can anybody clarify when to use which?
One of the videos on the stropping wiki page shows Seraphim working on one side of the strop, (which sounds like canvas) and then he flips it over and finishes it on the leather.
I couldn't find anything on the wiki page that talked about using one material over another so I am once again confused.
(okay, that's my one emoticon limit)

Any help would be appreciated!
