Lets see your stropping dens.
Now I've never liked or felt comfortable about stropping my razors in the bathroom, so I commandeered myself the small back bedroom where I carry out minor maintenance and edge duties, this is my little set up where I can easily put my hands on most bits and pieces without to much fuss, I have a pasted bench strop with velcro strips for easy removal on my work bench I also have my Kanayama and Tony miller attached to two stainless steel marine eyelets on the bench, the brush you see is a ladies makeup brush for cleaning off any dust from my bench strop before stropping, the unit is a very sturdy four cube unit I picked up from Ikea, and the storage boxes can also be sourced from Ikea.

Hi Magnus, whenever I have to unpin a razor before I file the head off the pin I always spray the pivot with WD40 as this tends to loosen up any sticky areas and usually makes popping the pin through much easier.“Wherever you’re going never take an idiot with you, you can always find one when you get there.”

Hi Guys,
Here are my 3 strops: A Kanayama #3, a 3" Tony Miller steer hide/linen and an Illinois 361, which has all the scars from my stropping apprenticeship...

The old bathroom door handle, is what I use when I am away for work, which is the majority of the time. This is the outside of the door.
I have an old rag for wiping my razor off on to get the oil off, a denim strop I made, and a roo strop I made.
The hanger is now a piece of paracord looped over the handle with a caribiner on the end.Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast
