Dad might strop it for me,but he's in almost as bad a shape as I am, and Mom has Alzheimer's . If the switching positions in relation to the strop doesn't work, then I'll try the paddle strop with some paste. There has to be a way to beat this.
NO PASTE!! use the paddle just as if it was your hanger.

What exactly is the problem? Pain, weakness?

The paddle could help with pain by allowing you to use varying positions giving your wrist and hands a break.

If you have weakness you might just need to affix a ring onto you strop to make it easier to grip, and perhaps wrap the shank of your razor to make it easier to hold, I'd recommend latex tape.
