Luckily, for me, I've had to play with the angle of my stropping out of necessity as well... we're in the midst of a bathroom remodel, so I've delayed hanging the hook to attach my strop. In the meantime, I've used the door knob, door hinge, toilet paper holder and cabinet knob... each offering a different angle. I've still yet to find the perfect one, but close enough. I guess it's true that necessity is the mother of all invention...

Oh, and I know it's OT, Glen, but seeing your link above made me realize that there is no "Beginner's Tip" for May yet... Just sayin'. (sayin' thanks, though, really)
