Well, the only problem there is the hanging strop flat on the counter is just a fraction of an inch off the counter and you have to be really careful not to hit the counter with the razor. A bench strop is far easier to use.

I have two I bought many years ago from Tony Miller which I use with diamond paste however plain they would work great. Just realize hanging straps have give to them as you strop. A bench strop has no such give so you have watch the pressure.

Paddle strops can be used also. They are mainly designed for travel but the usually have hollow areas to provide that "give" while stopping.
