Thread: Strops and kids

This question is for fathers who have little kids I have a little two-year-old who likes to destroy everything in touch everything where's a good spot to hang my Strops so he doesn't bother them

High enough where he can't reach them...maybe over the top of a door? Then just move to the towel bar when you shave.

Mine are on the inside of my bedroom closet door on a few over the door hooks.
I grab the razor of the day, got to my closet pop a strop on the handle strop away and go shave.
This works well for me as I keep my razors in the bedroom as well to keep small hands off of them.
Ironically my 11 year old is more of an issue than my 5 year old....

Did you intend the ambiguous title?

Wish i had a closet next to my bathroom darn appartments

I have a 6 year old, and when I am at. Home my strop lives on a hanger in my wardrobe until I need it. Paracord and caribiners make life easier.

I am a bit older now and my kids are well past the point of getting into my stuff. But when they were young, when I told them not to touch something, they didn't touch it. The same as I was when I was a kid with my parents things.
Putting things out of reach just makes them want it more.
Putting it up high is putting a patch on it...Put it in front of them and tell them its not theirs, and if they touch it, there will be consequences to their actions.
And I am NOT saying a flogging with the strop.

I just leave it hanging on the door handle in plain sight. For some reason it makes the 2 year old not even notice it.

I have dogs same issue, anything hanging they consider free game, toilet paper on the roll...ect. Install (2) hooks for your strop(s), one in your bedroom closet back wall the other in the bathroom or were you shave.

Never had an issue.......yet. My strops are hanging just below my window sill in my half bath. All my straight razors are out, stored in a rack hanging on the wall, and my safety razors set low with no blades in them. My son (4 now) has had his own safety razor since (2) and a Weck straight razor (blade is removed). These are his, and I let him know that, didn't make a big deal out of it, just remind him once in a while if he ask "do these have a blade in them?" and I tell him no that they are his. I also tell him not to ever touch the other razors, they'll cut you REALLY BAD! Guess what I'm saying is make him his own strop, kids love doing stuff with Dad. Plus they're learning, you kinda of take the mystery away, and then they're not so curious, hopefully! so far it's worked for me....knock on wood...
