Thread: How you hang your strops.

For sure ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I hang mine on the doorknob too, but the door is open and held back by one of those C clips:


I use it as a guide to how taut I pull the strop, and also how heavy handed I am with the razor on the strop. If the door unclips I've failed.

My strop hooks are just north of my elbow and south of my chest. That's to say my strops angle upward. I know most like them angling downward, but up works for me.

I use eye hooks to ensure the strop will never "wiggle" off its anchor.

That's a great idea!!

It wasn't deliberate I'm afraid. I hung (hanged?) it there out of necessity and then looked for justification as to why it was a good idea

then loop them over the the towel rail to used them

If they are out of reach who gets them down for you?

The key phrase there is "when not in use". Clearly when they are in use they are not out of reach.

Duh!

But how do you get them down to put them in use?

Easy - you throw your pet ape up and ask him to grab it on his way down lol .

You are assuming they are gotten down. What if he goes up to use them?
