Thread: How high is your strop?

I strop slightly uphill at about 20 degrees, but I don't think it much matters... My personal opinion is that just so long as there is a slight angle either up or down it makes for a bit less pressure automatically.. I have zero proof, it is just something I feel when stropping...I don't feel a steeper angle helps anymore or any less either...

I used to hang mine on a deadbolt lock about shoulder high, then I moved to the doorhandle and got better stropping action.

I don't have much experience but for what its worth, I hang my strop from a heavy dress shoelace which I attached to the hanging ring at the top of my strop. I loop the lace over the outside door knob of my bathroom door. When I close the door the strop kind of locks in place and I strop from inside the bathroom.

+1 on the from a door knob height at a slight downward angle.

Knob strop is hanging from is 1" below my navel. Like Glenn and others, this gives a slight angle when I strop.

My strops say "NO!" to drugs.

Waist high works well for me.
