Gentlemen,
For me, stropping on the counter is as romantic as sipping lemonade with a Hollywood starlet instead of champagne. Birds were meant to fly, fish to swim and strops to hang — or something like that.

Thanked: 43I am also a fan of the hanging strop for use on straight razors.
I admit that it took quite some time to get a good working understanding of the versatility of the hanging strop.
My bench and paddle strops see a lot of use for knife sharpening.

Ah yes, earcutter, that's from Showboat — Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II — a wonderful musical. I think time has come for a musical on the hanging strop, titled The Golden Strop — or something like that.

Of course we could also have Obie star in "Obie vs Stropzilla". It would be an instant classic. Sub plot would be Phrank and his flying W & B's against Honilla.
