Is it ok to hang your strop in the bathroom? I shave in the bathroom but am wondering what affect the moisture from taking showers will have on a strop if hanging in there.
Moisture is not the best for it. The continued humidity and then drying will shorten its life.
I mean no disrespect, but is this really true?
Leather has been used for many things for thousands of years, not always in the most dry conditions. It seems to me that, with proper general care and periodic conditioning, (neatsfoot oil, oil from your hands, leftover lather, etc.) hanging in a modern bathroom would be fine.
I've had guests at the house ask to use the bathroom. I always wonder what they think when they see the strops hanging there.
