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.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

Thanked: 4830I 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.
