Thread: Where do you hang your strop?

I hang mine from the doorknob.

Waist high for me.

Setting up a new travel kit for when I fly up to NY next week and got a 3" wide strap with a cord and no handle that I can tie to any variety of things. I suppose in a pinch you could kneel on one end and hold the other up and tight with your off hand (camping out next to my plane) or alternately lean into one end against the bathroom sink while holding the other end up and away. I could put a couple/three blades pre-stroped as well in my kit I guess but can never tell how many days I will be gone. I was also thinking at one point about just getting a leather paddle strop for travel but space is an issue in what I carry in my bag so a regular strop with no handle and just a cord wrapped around my shaving kit seems like the less space issue as I travel with a single bag normally.

I keep my razor, strop & hone in a cabinet drawer in my home office. That way it's safe from bathroom humidity and secures it from anyone who might get hurt by it accidentally. So what I did was loop a 8-inch nylon cord onto the strop's clip and a tied a large "turk's head" knot to the other end. To use the strop I close the (heavy) drawer over the string which holds the strop in place securely, at elbow-height.

My strop hangs in my closet, from the hangar rack, next to my suit.

When in use, it's tied around the post of the footboard of my bed.

I strop seated, I feel it helps take more variables out of the equation for consistency's sake. The strop is just above waist height, and close to level (lower at the handle).

Right now they're hanging from my shower rod ona good long line so that the top of the strop is at my shoulder and the bottom comes to my waist. Not a perfect solution, but it'll do for now.

I keep everything in my office. The strops hang from the back of the doorknob so I can close the door for some privacy and get my laps in. Also +1 on protection from the humidity of the bathroom.

Also, when I use a paddle strop I typically like it
a bit higher -- so I place the end on the top of my
chest of drawers and hold the handle up to give
the strop a bit of incline.

I share a bathroom, so mine has to be portable.

When in use, I use a loop of 550 cord to hook it on the doorknob. About waist high for me.

...a thousand words.
