    I have all three kinds. I find the loom to be more a conversation piece and less practical. A paddle is best for travel. A hanging is the classic way and the one used by probably 98% of folks historically. Of course you need to try all 3 and then decide which you like the best.

    I know easier said than done. But if you can it's the way to go. Otherwise you're just guessing and will wind up with multiple strops down the road.

    I didn't spend a lot of money on my first strop, it is a classic hanging strop. No regrets. Most people beat the first one up a little, so my suggestion is to get something that replacement components are easy to come by. I know a few of the vendors offer them, it is quite a bit cheaper than a new strop.
