Thread: Hanging a hanging strop?

In the mail today came my 3'inch red letigo strop from Straightrazordesigns!!!!! I'm way excited. Anyways, it had a metal loop at the end but now I need to figure out how to hang it and with what. Any tips? What do you do for your hanging strops?

I always recommend a brass coffee cup hook and screw it into the counter under the sink. The hooks are available everywhere.

Have fun,

Lynn

In the mean time, since you are desperate to use it right now, you can take a strong shoe lace or other heavy string, thread it through the ring, and tie it to the door knob of your bathroom. Do this ONLY if you have a lock on the door!

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I used to do. Now I hang it in the bedroom and take it down to use it on the headboard. For some reason I strop better with it laying flat.

EucrisBoy,

The coffee cup hooks as suggested by Mr Abrams work very well indeed; I also use the towel/dressing gown hooks on the back of the bathroom door.

If you have a towel rail or similar you can use Utopians' suggestion of a peice of string.

Good luck !

Have fun !

Best regards

i attached a carabiner to the end of mine and it hooks on to mostly anything.
