    I put a metal S hook on my doorknob and attach the strop to the S hook.

    I also attach my strop to the closet door, using a piece of 550 cord rather than a zip tie. I thought about affixing an eyebolt in the bathroom, but I was pretty certain SWMBO wouldn't be too keen on that.

    I have anchors in the wall.
    It seems many people like to hang them at the height of a doorknob.
    I don't!
    My strops hang from just about eye height.
    I find it easier to strop correctly, and maintain a taut strop that way.
    YMMV

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    I ran a 1/4" eyebolt into a stud in the wall, but I have been known to overbuild things from time to time (also I live alone and don't have to consider WAF issues)

    I just use one of the large 3M stick-on hooks. I rent, so I didn't want to make a hole in the wall; it's been almost a year, and still haven't pulled it off. Oh, and I like it about chest height, and I strop at an angle with the other end at waist height.

    Lately, I've been using the paddle strop all the time. But when I was using a hanging strop, I just used one of those over the door clothes hooks. Worked just fine.
