Where do you guys store/hang your strops when you shower before shaving or when not in use? I've been at this hobby for a tad over a year now and my strops have always remained in the bathroom. I have a TM latigo and a Dovo horsehide strop and would hate to find out that during this time the humidity of the bathroom has somehow altered them.
Any thoughts?

I hang mine in the bathroom. We have a closet where I have a hook to hang it. I don't think the strops will be hurt by hanging in the bathroom, but I guess it depends on overall humidity. 90% of the time, bathrooms have nothing going on in them and are not humid at all.
