    Default How to secure handing strop?

    I just bought a brand new Dovo Gentlemen from SRD and before my second shave while stropping the strop popped off the plastic hook I was using and now my razor has five nicks in the blade even though I kept it in hand the whole time.

    I would like to avoid this in the future and am looking for a way to secure my hanging strop. I purchased a paddle strop but do not like it one bit.

    I cannot use any kind of drills or anything that would be permanent.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I use zip ties, available at Home Depot or hardware and electrical supplies, on a door knob.

    I use the middle hinge on the door and pop the pin up an inch or so and hook it on there. That's always worked great for me.

    I use a piece of cord tied in a loop and attach it to the towel bar with a larks head

    I found a stud behind the bathroom door. Drilled a pilot hole and used a eye screw. Something that looks like the link below.

    I unscrewed a screw and made a ring out of a piece of my shortened bike handlebar, very secure!
