Thread: Anyone have any interesting ways to hang their strop?

I use a heavy duty 3M Command hook stuck to the side of the cabinet. Going on 3 years, and still holding strong.

Here is mine (I mentioned it earlier). It is not a permanent fixture and thus popular with others luckily my towel bar is the height I like for this.

When I travel, I carry a couple feet of para cord in my shave kit. If you are creative, you can always MacGyver something

I like the longer bent wire screw in hook because it goes all the way into the house framing and has a little bit of spring to it.

Not a cup hook but a solid wire heavier than a coat hanger by far.

I just used the same style hook on the side of my bathroom vanity. I usually leave my poor man strop hanging from my towel rack but found this puts it a better height. When done I hang my strop from the towel rack again and put the wife's hair straightener on the hook. That way she thinks I did it for her.

I use a large capped curtain hook which is functional and decorative and holds multiple strops which is good for me because I have a few.

We have one door into the master bathroom that we don't use. So I use a door anchor and carabiner to attach the strop of the day.

The door anchor I use is from a set of exercise bands. Inexpensive, nonpermanent, and portable.

The door hinge pin us an awesome idea until you go in your bathroom and realize all three doors only have a top and bottom hinge

I use a hook from Australia,
this causes my strop to hang upside down,
just the act of putting it into a usable position creates the appropriate tension on the strop,
I would like to thank MickR for the hook and eddy79 for the Idea....

Just kidding, I have hooks (brass cup style) in several locations,
a standard drywall nail to the left side of my keyboard slide out tray thing, and this(see pic) in my bedroom (same option available in my bathroom).

I pinch mine at the top of my door since I broke the 72ish year old string which was on it.

Geezer mentioned the middle door hinge and I took it a step further:
